2. The in South America and the Cascade Range in North America are formed by this type of convergence. (convergent plate boundary)
6. A long, narrow depression in the oceanic floor called ____ is also created in the subduction zone
7. takes place when a subducting slab sinks into the hot mantle because of a difference in temperature.
9. Reverse fault is another type of dip-slip fault where the block of Earth's crust pushes upward and along the dip angle.
10. Divergent boundaries between oceanic plates produce _______, a mountain system that is formed on the seafloor.
13. the thin, dense, and relatively young layer of Earth's crust that forms the ocean floor
14. _____ boundaries occur when two plates slide toward each other and form either a subduction zone (one plate moves underneath the other) or an orogenic belt.

1. _____ refers to the movement of faults along the angle of the fault plane. The angle of movement is called the dip, while the movement is slip
3. the rigid, outermost shell of the Earth, encompassing the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle
4. The in the western Pacific Ocean is formed by this type of convergence.
5. the edges where two or more of Earth's tectonic plates meet.
8. resists movement of lithospheric plates.
11. When two plates move away from each other, a gap or rift between them is created.
12. The massive slabs that make up the Earth's lithosphere
15. A ______ is a dip-slip fault where a block that sits on a fault plane, called the hanging wall, slips downward with respect to the footwall along the dip angle.
