pattern

• a layer of soft solid rock

• a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away

• something we observe to be similar over and over again

plate boundary

• one of the very large sections of hard rock that make up Earth's outer layer

• the place where two plates meet most volcanoes and earthquakes occur here

• the two sub-layers of the earth's crust (lithosphere) that move float and sometimes fracture
