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