forces within earth

A fracture in earth's crust is a

• tsunami

• fault

• Ring of Fire

• epicenter

As plates push together, one plate is forces under the other. As the bottom plate starts to melt, magma rises and forms volcanoes at the surface.

• Divergent

• Subduction

• Collision

• Transform

The Ring of Fire is

• a zone around the Pacific Ocean.

• a zone around the Atlantic Ocean.

• caused by tsunamis.

• part of the Richter scale.

Plates slide past each other along a fault or fracture in the crust.

• Divergent

• Subduction

• Collision

• Transform

The Theory of Continental Drift says

• Earth's surface is made up of moving plates

• Earth's continents are moving
