- 9. keep the plates in motion as hot magma rises and sinks as it cools at the surface
- 10. large, moving piece of the Earth's crust
- 13. it is liquid metal and is around 4400 degrees Celsius
- 14. heat energy that comes from the core
- 15. a boundary when two plates move towards each other
- 16. boundary along which two tectonic plates scrape past each other
- 17. where the edges of two (or more) tectonic plates meet
