Plate Boundaries

4. Where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally
6. Where do the plates ride on top of so they can move
7. Convergent boundaries push _______ each other
8. Along with earthquakes, transform boundaries create a _______
11. Formation of new oceanic crust,occurs when magma rises at a mid ocean ridge - Divergent boundary
13. Where two tectonic plates push into one another
15. Formed when two plates carrying oceanic crust meet, also forms an island arch
16. A process in which the denser plate goes under the less dense plate

1. A transform boundary where the two plates slide past each other. Energy builds up and releases _____
2. Tectonic plates are part of the _______
3. Where two tectonic plates move away from each other
5. Oceanic crust is more dense so it subducts under continental creating a _____ ____ _____- Convergent boundary
9. A divergent boundary, oceanic-oceanic, where the two plates separate, magma comes up, cools and creates a _____ _____ _____
10. This forms when an older, denser plate subducts downward into the mantle creating ______ _____ : oceanic- oceanic
12. A process, not official, occurs when a transform boundary slides past each other to create a fault
14. A convergent boundary, continental- continental, where the older continental subducts and the younger stays on top. Which pushes up ____
