- 8. of the Earth.
- 10. The plates push away from each other, splitting the Earth and creating Mid-Ocean Ridges and Rift Valleys. It only occurs with two plates carrying oceanic crust.
- 11. determines the outcome of a convergent boundary, and which plate will sink or be forced over the other.
- 12. A natural feature that can form at a subduction zone.
Down
- 1. these can occur at a transform boundary if enough pressure builds up.
- 3. At a convergent boundary, land is neither created nor _________.
- 5. There are two types of this plate boundary. They can occur with two plates carrying continental crust, or two plates - one carrying oceanic crust, and the other carrying continental crust.
- 7. activity can occur when magma pushes upward at a Mid-Ocean Ridge.
- 9. This boundary is when plates slip past one another, and occurs with two plates carrying continental crust.
