  2. 7. A weak spot in the middle of a tectonic plate where magma surfaces; forms a volcano (ex: Hawaii & Yellowstone)
  3. 8. A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions
  4. 9. the theory that the lithosphere is broken up into large plates that move and then rejoin; considered the unifying theory of geology
  5. 12. a series of volcanoes formed at a subduction zone
  6. 13. region where oceanic plates sink down into the asthenosphere
  7. 14. A long trough bounded by two or more faults
  8. 16. An earthquake that occurs after a larger earthquake in the same area

  7. 10. The shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth's surface
  8. 11. A deep valley that forms where two plates move apart
  9. 15. Large movable segments of the lithosphere
  10. 17. A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
