- Drift The idea that continents have moved across Earth's surface over time.
- The soft, flowing layer of the upper mantle beneath the lithosphere that allows tectonic plates to move.
- Tectonics The theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into large plates that move over the mantle.
- The rigid outer layer of Earth, made of the crust and the upper part of the mantle.
- of Plate Tectonics The scientific theory explaining how and why Earth's plates move, and how that movement shapes Earth's surface.
- Plate Boundaries Places where two plates move toward each other, causing collisions that can form mountains, volcanoes, or trenches.
- A giant landmass made of all or most of Earth's continents joined together.
Down
- A supercontinent that existed about 200 million years ago and later broke apart into today's continents.
- Plate Boundaries Places where two plates move apart, often forming new crust.
- Ridge System An underwater mountain range formed at divergent boundaries in the ocean, where new crust is created.
