- 3. Boundary: Where two plates meet and collide,
- 5. to the continental crust,Mid ocean ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics.
- 6. Boundaries: A place where two plates slip past each other, moving in oppisite directions,
- 9. the relatively thick part of the earth's crust that forms the large landmasses. It is generally older and more complex than the oceanic crust.The San Andreas Fault: is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1,000 kilometers through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and its motion is right-lateral strike-slip.
- 10. What the lithosphere is broken into. A plate can cover a continent the ocean floor or both,
- 12. volcano in hawaii
- 13. theory of plate tectonics explains the formation, movement, and subduction of Earth’s plates,
- 14. Theory: A well-tested concept that explains a wide reange of observations,
Down
- 1. crust: The relatively thin part of the earth's crust which underlies the ocean basins it is young
- 2. Boundaries: A place where two plates move apart,
- 4. sudden and violent shaking of the ground, sometimes causing great destruction, as a result of movements within the earth's crust or volcanic action.
- 7. Breaks in the Earth’s crust where rocks have slipped past each other,
- 8. ridge:location of mid ocean ridge
- 10. Tectonics: The geological theory that states that pieces of Earth’s lithosphere are in constane slow motion driven by convection currents in the mantle,
- 11. Valley: Where the Earth’s surface is being pulled apart by a divergent boundary,
