EARTH SCIENCE

1. folds in adjacent layers with different wavelengths and shape
3. when the hanging wall moves up
6. angular fold with straight limbs and small hinges
8. occurs when the hanging wall moves down relative to the foot wall
10. is the result of gravitational forces acting on the young, raised oceanic lithosphere around mid-ocean ridges
12. is a force acting on a rock per unit area, Any rock can be strained. Strain can be elastic, brittle, or ductile
14. a fault along a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal.
15. oldest strata in the center
16. youngest strata in the center
17. strata dip away from center in all direction

1. occurs when two plates moves away
2. strata dip away from axial center
4. occurs when two plates moves toward each other
5. a break in earths crust where older rocks are pushes above younger rock
7. strata dip toward center in all direction
9. a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock.
11. force exerted by a cold, dense oceanic plate plunging into the mantle due to its own weight.
12. bottom of the ocean
13. strata dip toward axial center
16. a geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other
