Plate Techtonics

What causes the crust to move about on the Earth?

• pressure from the inner core
• convection currents in the mantle
• wind currents in the troposphere
• ocean currents like the gulf stream

Which type of plate boundary would cause mountains to form

• Transform
• Convergent
• Divergent
• Reform

This layer of Earth is solid Iron and Nickel
