Molten rock that is located below Earth’s surface

• Continental Plates

• Faults

• Spreading

• Magma

The process by which magma wells up between oceanic plates and pushes the plates apart

• Magma

• Spreading

• Continental Plates

• Accretion

When _______ collide and push upwards and form mountain ranges like the Himalaya Mountains

• Continental Plates

• Spreading

• Pangea

Pangea was

• A Band

• Mountain Range

• Mountain Range

• Super Continent

When plates move, they sometimes squeeze the Earth’s surface until it buckles and this forms

• Spreading

• Faults

• Fold

• Core

Plates may grind or slide past each other and this creates cracks in the Earth’s crust called
