9. These structures are constructed from accumulated lava flows, pyroclasts, and other igneous rocks that piled up over time
10. This occurs when two plates move away from each other creating a gap or rift between them

14. These do not form because of Earth's internal activity but because of rock erosion or weathering

1. These are formed through plate convergence
2. This is caused by the rising of heat from the core toward the mantle
4. The force that resists all forces associated with plate movement in subducting zones
6. These are formed by tensional forces and uplifted large blocks of crust that are caused by the movement of normal faults
