2. the portion of motion of a tectonic plate that can be accounted for by its subduction
5. a large elongated depression with steep walls formed by the downward displacement of a block of the earth's surface between nearly parallel faults or fault systems.
6. an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide.
7. the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.
8. the branch of geophysics concerned with the magnetism in rocks that was induced by the earth's magnetic field at the time of their formation
9. a line on a diagram or map connecting points relating to the same time or equal times.
10. Changes in direction or orientation of the magnetic field of the Earth that have occurred from time to time.
11. the gradual movement of the continents across the earth's surface through geological time.
12. an instrument used for measuring magnetic forces, especially the earth's magnetism.
14. the formation of new areas of oceanic crust

1. a type of fault whose relative motion is predominantly horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction.
3. a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.
4. a theory in geology: the lithosphere of the earth is divided into a small number of plates which float on and travel independently over the mantle and much of the earth's seismic activity occurs at the boundaries of these plates.
13. a proposed mechanism for plate motion
15. supercontinent
