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