1. | The middle layer of the earth made from hot, molten rock that is moving around. |
2. | The circular movements of magma within the Earth's mantle which move the plates at the surface. |
4. | The type of plate margin where an oceanic and continental crust move towards each other. |
5. | The thin, brittle outer layer of the Earth. |
6. | The type of crust that is up to 70km thick, is permanent and is made of lighter rocks. |
8. | A broad, flat shaped volcano with gently sloping sides made from fluid lava that flows a long way. |
9. | The process of an oceanic crust going underneath a continental crust at a destructive plate margin. |
10. | A 'sleeping' volcano that has not erupted for some time but will erupt again. |
11. | The hot centre of the Earth that provides the heat to drive all of the Earth's tectonic activity. |
12. | The type of plate margin where two plates are sliding alongside each other, forming earthquake zones. |
15. | A steep sided volcano made of layers of lava and ash. It has thick lava and explosive eruptions. |
17. | The point where two or more large sections of the Earth's crust meet. |
20. | The type of crust that is young, thin, made of dense rocks and is constantly be created and destroyed. |
22. | A 'Mid-Ocean _______' an underwater line of volcanoes found at along a conservative plate boundary. |
23. | Tiny fragments of volcanic rock that are blasted into the atmosphere during an eruption. |
