Plate Tectonics

2. A long, narrow deep depression in the ocean floor which typically runs parallel to a plate boundary and makes a subduction zone.
3. The process that creates new sea floor as plates move away from each other at the mid-ocean ridges
6. The process that moves large bodies of Earth materials to higher elevations
7. A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions
12. Process by which, in a fluid being heated, the warmer part of the mass will rise and the cooler portions will sink.
13. a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock
14. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.

1. Thin plates that form the ocean floor; more dense than continental plates.
4. Tectonic Plates which are largely comprised of less dense granite (when compared with oceanic plates).
5. A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other.
8. A theory stating that the earth's surface is broken into plates that move.
9. A deep valley that forms where two plates move apart
10. The process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary.
11. how much matter or mass there is in a given amount of space or volume
