When magma rises from a mid-ocean ridge and cools as it is pushed further and further away as new magma forms and cools.
What is Seafloor Spreading
200
Formed when two diverging plates are spreading apart, normally in the ocean.
What is Mid-Ocean Ridge

200
The theory that the continents are not in the same spot as they were 15 million years ago, and they are still continuing to change.
What is Continental Drift
300
Formed when two plates begin to transform against each other.
What is Faulting
300
When two plates are moving up against one another head on.
What is convergent
300
The supercontinent that was in place a long time ago before the plates began to spread to their current postion.
What is Pangea

When magma heats and rises then cools and falls then repeats this over and over to where it begins to move the plates.
What is Convection Currents
400
Formed when two plates are converging and one begins to subduct because of less density.
What is Trench
400
When two plates begin to move up against each other and one sinks under the other due to less density.
What is Convergent with Subduction

Wegner found items such as these on separate continents while looking for a way to prove continental drift.
