Plate tectonics
When the supercontinent ______ was drifted apart by _______
Pangea, Continental Drift
Which plate boundary collides And one plate goes under the other?
Convergent Plate Boundary
a long, seismically active submarine ridge system situated in the middle of an ocean basin and marking the site of the upwelling of magma associated with seafloor spreading. An example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Mid - Ocean Ridge
When Large slabs of ________split apart from each other it causes __________.
Lithosphere, Sea-floor spreading
which plate boundary slides past one another?
Transform Plate Boundary
the magnetic minerals in the rock having the same polarity as the Earth's present magnetic field
Normal Polarity
When there is a mid-ocean ridge occurring the two processes are ______ and _____
Ridge Push, Slab Pull
which plate boundary separates from each other?
Divergent Plate Boundary
the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
_______ occurs when the North pole is transformed into a South pole and the South pole becomes a North pole
Magnetic Reversal
when the hot and neutral wires on a receptacle/outlet are wired backwards.
Reversed Polarity
_____ happens when an oceanic plate runs into a continental plate and slides beneath it.
Subduction
