Plate Techonics

3. A semi-fluid layer in Earth's upper mantle where tectonic plates "float" and move due to convection currents.
8. Areas where tectonic plates interact, including subduction zones, transform faults, and rifts.
9. can sometimes be ceramic but can be found underground
10. Zone: An area where one tectonic plate is
11. its in the middle of the earth
13. A curved chain of volcanic islands formed at a convergent boundary where an oceanic plate subducts beneath another.
17. Massive, rigid sections of Earth's crust and upper mantle that move and interact, leading to geological changes.
18. Plume: A rising column of hot mantle material that can cause volcanic activity away from plate boundaries, creating hotspots.
19. Boundary: Plate boundary where two plates move towards each other, causing compression and often leading to mountain formation.
21. After affect of tectonic plates moving related to water
22. When two tectonic plates meet head-on, causing intense pressure and leading to mountain building and earthquakes.

1. Boundary: Plate boundary where two plates move apart, creating new crust as magma rises to the surface.
2. Interaction: The dynamic processes and geological features created by the interactions of tectonic plates.
4. orgininal earth
5. Something wiggling
6. Ridge: An underwater mountain range formed at divergent boundaries, where new oceanic crust is continuously created.
7. its liquid in the earth
12. A deep valley formed at a divergent boundary on continents, such as the East African Rift.
14. its the top of the earth
15. The continuous motion of Earth's lithosphere, driven by forces like mantle convection and gravitational pull.
16. Earthquake and volcanic events resulting from the movement and interactions of tectonic plates.
20. Boundary: Plate boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes along faults.
