Plate tectonics

A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other is called

• Divergent Boundary

• Convergent Boundary

• Transform Boundary

• Subduction

A Plate Boundary where two plates move toward each other is called

• Convergent Boundary
• Divergent Boundary
• Transform Boundary
• Subduction

What is the difference between the lithosphere and asthenosphere that makes up the mantle?

• The lithosphere is ismade of dense solid meal whle the asthenosphere is made of liquid molten metal
• The lithosphere is a mixture of gasses while the asthenosphere is made of solid rock
• The lithosphere is molten rock that moves while the asthenosphere is ridid and thin
• The lithosphere is made of solid rock while the asthenosphere is more flexible hot rock that moves.

Convergent Plate Movement can create

• Rifts

• Mountains

• Ocean Ridges

• Volcanoes

Convergent Plate Movement can create

• Rifts
• Mountains
• Ocean Ridges
• Radiation

_______________ Currents within the mantle cause the earth's plates to move and shift s molten material rises and falls due to density and gravity

• Convection
• Radiation
• Conduction
• Wind

This boundary is described as two plates moving past eachother ALONG THE EDGES horizontally.  These boundaries will get stuck or lock against eachother causing earthquakes when they slip and release. 

• Convergent Boundary
• Divergent Boundary
• Transform Boundary

What are breaks in Earth's crust where rocks have slipped past each other?

• sea floor spreading

• subduction

• plates

• faults

According to Wegener's theory of continental drift,

• Earth's surface is made up of seven major landmasses

• the continents do not drift

• Earth is slowly cooling and shrinking

• the continents were once joined together in a single landmass and have slowly moved.

Name the boundary

• convergent boundary
• divergent boundary
• transform boundary
• sergent boundary
