  3. 4. Formedt plte boundries usually when plates collide.
  4. 5. Tectonic plates move toward each other, usually forms mountains and volcanoes.
  5. 7. Forms after weathering and erosion when sediments compact and cement.

  1. 1. material rises, cooler materials sink. it drives plate tectonics.
  2. 6. Formed as a result of high temperature and pressure deep within earth changing a rock that already existed.
  3. 8. Tectonic plates move toward each other, usually forms a new crust and rift valleys.
  4. 11. Large, ridged pieces of the earths lithosphere that move and interact with each other along plate boundaries
