Theory Of Plate Tectonics
Theory of how ocean crust was form
Explains the movement of the water currents
Explains how major landforms are created as a result of Earth's subterranean
Describes heat wave currents
Continental Crust
Layer of the earth that is found in the ocean
Found below the mantle
Sand or dirt
Layer of the earth that supports dry land
Convergent Boundary
A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving toward each other
A tectonic boundary where two plates move apart
A tectonic boundary where two plates slide by each other
Lines of the continent that separate different countries
Divergent Boundary
A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving toward each other
A tectonic boundary where two plates move apart
A tectonic boundary where two plates slide by each other
The center of the Earth where all plates meet
Mid Ocean Ridge
Plate Boundary that forms from plates moving towards each othter
Part of the ocean where the crust goes deeper down to the earth
Where the ocean and continents meet
A continuous range of underwater volcanoes that wraps around the globe
Ocean Basin
The part of the beach that meets the sand
Any part of the earth covered by sea water
Any part of the earth covered by water
The calmest part of the ocean
Oceanic Crust
Thin layer of the earth that lays below the oceanic basin
Layer of the earth that connects land with sea
Layer of the earth below the inner core
Where the tectonic plates sit
Plate Boundary
Boundary that moves ONLY towards each other
Boundary between Africa and America
Boundary between two tectonic plates, where the plates are moving horizontally or vertically in opposite directions, not against or away from each other
Boundary that moves ONLY AWAY from eachother
Subduction
When two tectonic plates meet and one breaks apart causing the other one to shift
when two tectonic plates meet at convergent boundaries, and one of the plates moves under the other one due to gravity and differences in density
When one tectonic plate pulls apart from the other one and rotates directions
The place where you get sandwiches
Transform Boundary
Formation of new crust
Subduction of one plate under another
Horizontal sliding of plates past each other
Vertical movement of plates creating mountains
Seafloor Spreading
A geologic process in which tectonic plates—large slabs of Earth's lithosphere—split apart from each other
Process of creating new crust
A geological process in which tectonic plates move past each other horizontally
Process of building old crust on top of new crust being formed
