Plate Tectonics

2. layer of the Earth where we live on
6. heat transfer through touch
7. a series of hydrothermal vents found along plate boundaries
8. layer of the Earth that is completely liquid and made of nickel and iron
11. layer of the Earth that includes the lithosphere, asthenosphere, and the lower mantle
12. layer in the Earth where rock is so hot it allows for convection currents to occur
13. the process where the sea floor hits a continent and causing it to sink underneath the land and be reabsorbed into the mantle
15. movement of heat through liquids and gases which allows for currents to be made

1. layer of the Earth that includes the crust and the top part of the mantle
2. when a fluid is heated the hotter particles rise and the cooler particles sink which causes this to occur (also happens inside the Earth)
3. the process of convection currents pushing up magma and creating new rock on the ocean floor
4. layer of the Earth that is completely solid and is the hottest layer
5. when all the continents where connected as one it was called this
9. heat transfer through "space" between substances
10. mini ocean volcanoes
14. Alfred Wegener's idea of how the continents move slowly over Earth's surface
