plate tectonics
convergent boundary
convection
divergent boundary
The process by which new oceanic lithosphere (sea floor) forms when magma rises to Earth's surface at mid-ocean ridges a solidifies (hardens) as older, existing sea floor moves away from the ridge.
sea-floor spreading
transform boundary
plate tectonics
convection
The Boundary between tectonic plates that are colliding.
mid ocean ridges
plate tectonics
convergent boundary
divergent boundary
The theory that Earth's outer layer is made up of large moving pieces called tectonic plates; the theory explains how plates interact and how those interactions relate to processes such as earthquakes and mountain building.
