Plate Boundaries
This boundary occurs when tectonic plates slide past one another.
Transform Boundaries
This layer of the Earth is right under your nose (or should I say...Feet?)
Crust
Volcanoes form most often at this type of tectonic plate boundary.
Convergent Boundaries
All of our continents used to be connected as one. The name given to this "supercontinent" is ________.
Pangea
This boundary occurs when tectonic plates come together.

This landform, which rhymes with "bench," occurs at convergent plate boundaries and causes seafloor spreading.
Trench
Puzzle
This type of boundary is mostly found in the oceans because it causes mid-ocean ridges, trenches, and seafloor spreading.

Convergent, Divergent, Transform
The Earth's mantle is mostly made up of this substance that is made up of melted rock.
magma
This process happens at convergent boundaries when one plate slides under another plate.
Subduction
