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