Oceanography

3. Currents a heat transfer process of flowing fluid that is moving because there is a temperature or density difference within the material.
6. the stress that causes plates to be pulled away from each other
7. a mound of sediments at the base of the continental slope
10. the solid upper layer of the Earth's mantle, is so hot that it behaves plastically and can flow. Convection currents occur here and move the lithospheric plates above.
11. created when plates move towards each other
12. the stress that causes plates to be pushed towards each other

1. the stress that causes plates to slide past each other
2. the edge of the continent, comprised of the continental shelf, slope, and rise
3. the steep decline from the continental shelf to the ocean floor
4. top-most layer of the Earth, composed of both the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves as a brittle, rigid solid.
5. created when plates slide past each other
8. Boundary created when plates move away from each other
9. the gently sloping part of the continent that is underwater
