Tectonic Plates

2. Divergent: Plates pull apart creating new crust
4. A supercontinent that existed on earths hundred of millions of years ago
5. A geological process where one tectonic plate slides and sinks beneath each other
6. Drift: A theory that Earths continent have drifted across the planets surface
9. an area of unusually hot mantle material located deep within the Earth
10. Process of two or more things moving towards each other forming a whole
11. The act of pressing something into a smaller space or putting pressure on it from different sides until it gets smaller.
12. Molten rock that erupts and flows on earth's surface
13. Sudden violent shaking of the ground.
14. Something like a rock that has been changed by exposure to heat, pressure and more.
15. Opening in the Earth's crust where magma erupts from beneath the surface forming a mountain shape.
16. The hard outer layer the earth
17. Extremely hot molten rock that is found beneath earth's surface

1. A zone of fractures in the Earth's crust where tectonic plates have moved
3. of fire: A string of volcanoes or earthquakes around the Pacific Ocean
4. Tectonics: The scientific theory that the Earth's outer shell is broken into large plates
5. Spreading: The geological process where new oceanic crust is formed at mid ocean ridges as tectonic plates pull apart.
6. The center innermost layer of the planet
7. Process by which heat is transferred by movement of a heated fluid such as air or water.
8. An event where 2 or more objects come into violent contact or crash with each other
