Across
- 3. a circulating flow of material within a fluid,these currents are a fundamental process that drives large-scale geological events like plate tectonics
- 5. a group or chain of mountains that are closely connected, often formed by similar geological processes like tectonic forces
- 6. a deep, narrow depression in the Earth's surface formed by subduction at convergent plate boundaries
- 7. a type of tectonic plate boundary where two plates slide horizontally past each other, causing earthquakes but not the creation or destruction of the lithosphere
- 8. the zone where two tectonic plates meet
- 9. tectonic plate boundary where two plates pull apart from each other, creating new crust as magma rises to fill the gap
- 10. a continuous underwater mountain range, formed at a divergent tectonic plate boundary where magma rises to create new oceanic crust
Down
- 1. a long, narrow depression in the Earth's crust formed by tectonic plates pulling apart at a divergent boundary
- 2. a type of convergent plate boundary where one tectonic plate slides beneath another and sinks into the Earth's mantle
- 4. where two tectonic plates collide, causing geological events like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain formation
