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