The huge blocks of the earth's crust that slide around slowly are called

• Volcanoes

• Tectonic Plates

• Rift Valleys

• Mid ocean ridges

As oceanic plates move apart rising magma forms new oceanic crust this is known as

• Volcanoes

• Seafloor spreading

• Mid-ocean ridges

• Mountains

Where oceanic plates meet continental plates, old oceanic crust is pulled downward and the heavier oceanic crust slides underneath the lighter continental plate. This is called

• Seafloor spreading

• Abduction

• Subduction

• Convection
