  1. formed from ‘more liquid-y’ lava that flows further away from the eruption before it hardens; because of this, it has sides with a shallow, broad profile - you know, kinda like a shield
  2. -true or false- the sciences are by far the most interesting subjects you get to study in school
  3. process of one plate being smooshed up under another plate, and results in the oceanic crust of the bottom plate being recycled back down into the earth’s mantle
  4. theory explaining how lithospheric plates move around and smoosh into/under/away from each other and form the geologic features we see (such as mountains, sea trenches, volcanoes, continents and oceans)
  5. plate boundary where two plates are moving against each other

  7. outermost layer of the earth’s crust, it forms the continents and continental shelves and is less dense than oceanic crust
