Across
- 3. plate boundary where two tectonic plates slip past each other, moving in opposite directions
- 4. Measurement of angular distance on the Earth north or south of the equator.
- 6. The true location of an earthquake and source of seismic waves.
- 8. Solid outer layer of Earth including both crust and upper mantle.
- 11. plate boundaries where two tectonic plates move toward each other
- 12. Melted rock beneath Earth's surface.
- 13. spreading Theory that seafloor crust forms at mid-ocean ridges and then spreads in opposite directions.
- 14. wave Vibration produced by an earthquake.
- 15. Fault Two plates moving toward each other resulting in both plates pushing upwards.

- 18. Large moving section of lithosphere that contains continents and seafloor.
- 19. Ratio between the mass and the volume of a substance, found by dividing an object's mass by its volume.
Down
- 1. the northern continent formed when Pangaea split into two pieces
- 2. transfer of heat by movement of a fluid
- 5. boundary Place where two plates of lithosphere are moving apart and new lithosphere is formed.
- 7. cone Volcanic mountain with a broad base and gently sloping sides, made from lava flows.
- 9. Instrument that measures and records seismic waves.
- 10. Movement of a fluid because of density differences.
- 16. Measurement of angular distance on the Earth east or west of the prime meridian.
