SCIENCE: EARTH'S CRUST Crossword

the thin and solid outer most layer of the earth above the mantle
the layer of rock between the earths crust and core
the central part of the earth below the mantle
the solid,outer layer of the earth that consists of the crust and the rigid upper part of the mantle
the soft layer of the mantle on which the tectonic plates move
the strong, lower part of the mantle between the asthenosphere and the outer core
a block of lithosphere that consists of the crust and the rigid outer most part of the mantle
the hypotheses that states that the continents ounce formed the land mass, broke up and drifted to there present location
the process by which organic lithosphere forms as magma rises towards the surface and solidifies.
the theory that explains how large pieces of the earths outermost layer called tectonic plates, move and change shape
the boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.
the boundary formed by the collision of two lithospheric plates
the boundary between tectonic plates that are sliding passed each other horizontally
stress that occurs when forces act to squeeze an object
stress that occurs when forces act to stretch an object
The bending of rock layers due to stress
a break in a body of rock which one block slides relative to another
the rising of regions of the earths crust to higher elevations
the sinking of regions of the earths crust to lower levels
