Plate Tectonics

2. heat transfer by the movement of currents in a liquid
3. the theory that states that pieces of the Earth's lithosphere are in slow, constant motion driven by convection currents in the mantle
5. Liquids rise and fall in a convection current because of this
9. a single section of the lithosphere
12. A soft sublayer of the mantle
14. the place where two plates collide
15. core The solid sublayer of the core
16. The ocean floor moving apart like conveyor belts. This occurs as a result of new crust being added

1. the place where two plates move away from each other
2. The innermost layer of the Earth
4. The uppermost layer of the mantle and the crust
6. The outermost layer of the Earth made up of solid rock
7. the place where two plates slide across each other in opposite directions
8. The liquid sublayer of the core
10. A main layer of the Earth made up of molten rock
11. The theory that continents were once connected in one landmass and have separated and moved away from each other
13. the name of the landmass before the continents separated
