Cracks form, cold water seeps in, water is superheated by hot magma, minerals dissolve in the water which is then forced downwards, they solidify when they hit the cold water, produced chimneys

Subduction at divergent boundary, plates get stuck, pressure increases, plate slips and releases stored energy

Subduction at convergent boundary, plates get stuck, pressure decreases, plate slips and releases stored energy

Subduction at convergent boundary, plates get stuck, pressure increases, plate slips and releases stored energy

Plates spread apart at convergent boundary, plates get stuck, pressure increases, plate slips and releases stored energy

Series of fast, tall ocean waves with an extremely long wavelength

One extremely large ocean wave that occurs suddenly and randomly

Rapid rotating water caused by conflicting currents

A violent storm with violent wind and heavy rain

Warm water, moist air, low pressure, and upper-level winds

Large volume of water is suddenly displaced due to one of three factors an earthquake, volcano, or landslide

Underwater currents that are forced to rotate by an underwater obstacles or tides

Waves formed by a storm interacting shortening wave frequency causing them to join together

Rock is weathered and broken down from the continental shelf, these newly formed sediments deposit on the seafloor

Strong underwater currents break down newly formed rocks by the mid-ocean ridge into fine sediments that flatten the seafloor

Marine uplift causes minerals to build up in the ocean to later break down due to plate tectonics causing turbidity currents to settle fine sediments on the seafloor

Magma forced upward about Earth's crust, solidifies creating new uneven crust, sediments are added to the seafloor by turbidity currents, they settle to form flat regions

A subduction zone that causes the continental crust to sink

A cave-in that is created at a divergent boundary

A ditch that was used in the past for warfare

Longest, narrowest, deepest part of the seafloor

Convergent boundary where subduction occurs where the oceanic crust sinks under the continental crush creating a trench at the contact point

Divergent boundary where the plates separate creating a growing fissure in the seafloor creating a trench at the contact point

Convergent boundary where the continental crust sinks under the oceanic crust creating a trench at the contact point

Transform boundary where the plate slide past one another breaking the crust causing it to cave in creating a trench at the contact point

Mantle

Subduction zone that forms trenches and causes earthquakes and tsunamis

Cooled magma that builds up to create chimneys

Marine uplift that forms a series of islands within the middle of the ocean

Continuous underwater volcanic mountain range responsible for seafloor spreading

two plates separate and subduction occurs, oceanic plate is recycled and melted, magma pushes through the continental plate, volcano forms
