  1. 4. refers to the shaking of earth as a result of the breaking or shifting of rock of the tectonic plates, which releases seisamic energy.
  2. 5. are cracks on Earth's crust.
  3. 6. belt is a region of deformed rocks that is formed when two plates collide and one plate crumples and is uplifted.
  4. 8. refers to the process of forming mountain and mountain ranges.
  5. 10. fault is a combination of a strike slip and a dip slip.
  6. 11. suction occurs between two colliding plates, one subducting underneath the other, whereby convection currents in the upper mantle suck bot plates down.
  7. 12. ridge a mountain system that is formed on the seafloor.
Down
  1. 1. resistance occurs when a heavy plate is pulled into the mantle but resist subduction because of friction. This force opposes the slab pull.
  2. 2. forces act against the driving forces of plate tectonics.
  3. 3. force resist movement of lithosphere plates.
  4. 7. trench also created at the subduction zone.
  5. 9. refers to the movement of faults along the angle of the ault plane.
  6. 11. pull takes place when a subducting slab sinks into the hot mantle because of a difference in temperature.
  7. 12. convection is caused by the rising of heat from the core towards the mantle.
