Across
- 2. Mountains formed by the bending of rocks.
- 6. Rocky material that makes up the continents; it is less dense and contains a greater amount of lighter colored minerals than oceanic crust.
- 8. Formed where two sections of Earth's Crust are colliding.
- 9. A boundary between two lithospheric plates that are sliding past each other.
- 11. Outermost layer of Earth's surface, which is rocky and solid; includes the crust and rigid part of the upper mantle.
- 12. On a map, a line that connects points of equal elevation above sea level.
- 13. The process in which one lithosphere plate slides under another; occurs at converging plate boundaries.
Down
- 1. This map shows the shape and elevation of the land surface using contour lines, and shows other land features using symbols.
- 3. Height above sea level.
- 4. Form where lithospheric plates are moving away from each other.
- 5. Mountains formed when rocks move along faults, leaving blocks of crust at different elevations.
- 7. Under sea mountain range that form where two parts of Earth's crust are pushing apart.
- 10. Portion of Earth's crust that lies beneath the oceans; it is thinner than continental crust.
