Clues

  • A section of the earth's crust (5)
  • The boundary where two plates meet (5, 6)
  • The circular currents of heat in the mantle (10, 8)
  • The dense, mostly solid layer between the outer core and the crust (6)
  • The meeting of two plates of continental crust. They are both the same type so they 'head on' and buckle (9)
  • The outer layer of the earth (5)
  • The sinking of oceanic crust at a destructive margin (10)
