  5. 13. The layer of rock between the Earth's crust and core
  6. 14. The soft layer of the mantle on which the tectonic plates move
  7. 16. A system of ideas that explains many related observations and is supported by a large body of evidence acquired through scientific investigation
  8. 18. current Any movement of matter that results from differences in density may be vertical circular or cyclical

  1. 1. The process by which one load the spirit plate moves beneath another plate as a result of tectonic forces
