Earthquakes Test Lessons 4-6

A large, giant supercontinent land mass is called

• continental drift

• plate tectonics

• pangaea

• oceanic crust

Plates that diverge or move apart from each other

• divergent

• transform

• convergent

• lithosphere

Continental plate collides with another continental plate creates

• volcanoes

• earthquake

• trench

• mountains
