Across
1.stress that occurs when two tectonic plates collide
7.stress that occurs when two tectonic plates pull apart from each other
9.slightly larger than Mars, center of the Earth
11.formed along the divergent boundary in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean
13.layer of the Earth that is liquid
14.pieces of the lithosphere
16.fault formed when there is tension
17.the surface along which rocks break and slide past each other
Down
1.process by which hot material from deep within the Earth rises while cooler material near the surface sinks
2.solid middle layer of the Earth located between the asthenosphere and the outer core
3.region where oceanic plates sink down into the asthenosphere
4.boundary where the tectonic plates move away from one another
5.tectonic plate boundary involving the collision between two tectonic plates
6.layer of the Earth just below the lithosphere
8.occurs when rock layers bend due to stress
10.made primarily of Fe and Si, makes up most of the Earth's mass
12.fault usually caused when tectonic forces push rock together
15.outermost layer of the Earth made primarily of silicon and oxygen

The look has changed! Some of the puzzles that people list for the public get indexed by the search engines (like Google). Some people find those puzzles and cannot figure out how to make a puzzle of their own. So this page now has the navigation sidebar.

Use the "Printable HTML" button to get a clean page, in either HTML or PDF, that you can use your browser's print button to print. This page won't have buttons or ads, just your puzzle. The PDF format allows the web site to know how large a printer page is, and the fonts are scaled to fill the page. The PDF takes awhile to generate. Don't panic!
