Plate Tectonics

2. scientist who came up with the theory of continental drift
4. plate boundary where two plates slide against each other
5. plate boundary where two plates move away from each other
7. energy release often caused by transform boundaries
9. divergent plate boundaries, also known as __________ plate boundaries due to new crust being created
10. in convection, less dense warmer material does this
11. process by which new crust forms
12. convergent plate boundaries, also known as __________ plate boundaries because lithosphere returns to the mantle here
14. landform created when two continental plates converge
15. large pieces of the lithosphere that slowly drift
17. in convection, denser cooler material does this

1. plate boundary where two plates move towards each other
3. process in the mantle that drives continental drift
6. chain of volcanoes in the pacific due to subduction zones and upwelling of magma
8. runs the vertical length of the atlantic ocean
11. when a denser plate moves under a less dense plate'
13. female scientist famous for mapping plate boundaries
16. two types of _________ - Oceanic and continental
