Across:

4.	An example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
7.	subduction usually happens when these form

8.	where plates slide sideways past each other

Down:

1.	moving inward
2.	the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.
3.	is an actively deforming region where plate tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide.

5.	when rocks break
6.	the formation of new areas of oceanic crust, which occurs through the up-welling of magma at mid-ocean ridges and its subsequent outward movement on either side.
