What causes tectonic plate movement?

Back

Convection currents in the mantle.

Front

What is a transform boundary?

Back

A plate boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other.

Front

What is likely to result from a transform boundary?

Back

Frequent earthquakes.

Front

Do transform boundaries create or destroy crust?

Back

Neither create nor destroy crust.

What is the San Andreas Fault?

Back

Front

What are tectonic plates?

Back

Large sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other.

Front

What is the lithosphere?

Back

The rigid outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.

Front

What is an earthquake?

Back

A sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.

Front

What is the difference between convergent and transform boundaries?

Back

Convergent boundaries collide, while transform boundaries slide past each other.

Front

What is a fault line?

Back

A fracture in the Earth's crust where blocks of land have moved past each other.
