Changing Earth's Surface

2. Weathering/ the process of breaking rocks into small pices without changing the compostion of the rocks
3. the minerals and small pices of rocks
6. Ridges/ the mountains that forms as this lava builds up and cools
8. refers to the processes that breaks down rockss, changing Earth's surface over time
11. Spot/ locations wheree volcanoes form far from plate boundaries
12. is the moving of waethered material, or sediment, from one location to another
14. Drift/ the hypothesis that continents move
15. the side-by-side dragging force at transform boundaries
16. Tectonics/ states that Earth's crust is broken into rigid plates that move slowly over Earth's surface
17. creates a large depression in the center of the volcanic
18. Boundary/ where two plates move from toward each other
20. Zone/ the area where one plate slides under another

1. process of laying down eroded mineral in new location.
4. the pulling force at a divergent boundary
5. Flows/ long streams of molten rocks
7. Weathering/ the process of changing the compostion of rocks and minerals by exposure to water and the atmosphere
9. is the repture and sudden movement of rocks along a break or a crack in Earth's crust
10. Ash/ small pieces of lava
13. the surface along which the crust moves
14. the squeezing force at a convergent boundary
19. Boundary/ where plates slide horizontally past each other
21. Boundary/ where two plates move apart from each other
