TWIG At the Plate Boundary Vocab

What is a convergent plate boundary?

• The point where two plates collide

• The point where two plates move apart

• The process of a force changing the size or shape of a rock

• A volcanic region where magma from a mantle plume has caused the Earth's crust to melt and thin

What is a divergent plate boundary?

• The point where two plates collide

• The point where two plates move apart

• The process of a force changing the size or shape of a rock

• A volcanic region where magma from a mantle plume has caused the Earth's crust to melt and thin

What is Earth's crust?

• The thin outer shell of the Earth

• The Earth's layer the plates move on

• The boundary between plates

What is Earth's mantle?

• The thin outer shell of the Earth broken into piece

• The part of the Earth's interior between the crust and the central core

• The water that sits on the crust

• A submarine mountain range formed when two oceanic plates diverge

Mt St Helens formed in the Cascade Mountains from the subduction of

• Oceanic crust made of basalt going under continental crust made of granite

• Continental crust made of granite going under oceanic crust made of basalt

• A transform boundary like the San Andres Fault

• A hotspot causing a magma plume rising from the mantle
