Plate Tectonic

2. A thin outer layer of rock above a planets mantle, including all dry land and ocean basins.
5. A mountain or hill typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are being or have been erupted.
7. The transfer of energy from place top lace by the motion of heated gas or liquid
11. An area of fracturing between rocks resulting from stress
13. Part of upper mantle that behaves like soft butter
14. Tectonic Lithosphere is divided into a number of crustal plates, each of which moves.
15. A specialist in the history of the Earth recorded in rocks, convergence.
16. Valley A gap formed between two diverging plates
17. An actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide.
18. the boundary formed by the collision of two lithospheric plates, divergent boundary, the boundary between two tectonic plates.
19. The bending of rock layers, fault, a break in the earths crust.
20. The amount per unit size, trench, any long ditch cut in the ground. Earthquake, vibration from underground movement along a fault plane.

1. Vibration from underground movement along a fault plate, volcano, a fissure in the earths crust though which gases erupt.
3. boundary formed by the collision of two lithospheric plates.
4. Idea or theory that the continents once existed in a giant super continent and have moved apart over millions of years.
6. A gap formed between two diverging plates ; magnetic reversal, when earths magnetic north and South Poles switch places
7. The center of earth, an area constituting about 16% of the planets volume and 32% of its mass
8. features would include those expressed on the surface, (such as mountains, rivers and lakes) as well as those not as visible
9. Boundary between two tectonic plates that are sliding past each other horizontally
10. THe act of putting pressure on something compression. The act of applying force. Mid-Atlantic ridge.
12. A deep depression in the ocean floor caused by the convergence of plates and the resulting subduction of one plate
14. A super continent
