Underneath the surface of the Earth, you will find the ​ (a)   , which is divided into sections called ​ (b)   made of hard solid rock, and the ​ (c)   , which is made of soft, solid rock. ​

• outer layer
• plates
• mantle

This cross-section shows a ​ (a)   plate boundary. In this type of boundary, plates move ​ (b)   each other. The ​mantle then (c)   hard, solid rock from the plate that is forced underneath, which forms a ​ (d)   at the surface.

• convergent
• towards
• destroys
• trench
• divergent
• away from
• adds new
• mid-ocean ridge
