Down
- 2. the theory that earth is split into a lot of different sections
- 3. a boundary where to plates allow magma to rise and then make new crust
- 4. a boundary where plates collide
- 6. the large plates that are the cause of earthquakes and volcanic activity
- 7. the strength of the lithosphere and anthenosphere
- 8. when tectonic plates go apart so magma rises and makes new crust
- 11. when the pressure of 2 plates causes it to shorten or thicken
- 12. a place on earth where plates are likely to slide under each other
- 16. the outer layer of the earth
