What is the asthenosphere?
100
The event where two continental plates slide across each other.
What is transform boundaries?
100
The place where two plates slide or parts of the lithosphere move toward each other and collide
What is convergent boundaries?
100
a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other
What is divergent boundary?
200
The super continent that existed before it spread apart.
What is Pangaea?
200
the solid outer layer of the Earth above the asthenosphere
What is the lithosphere?
200
The event that transform boundaries cause mostly.
What is earthquake?
200
a landform caused by the collision of two lithospheric fragments

200
The layer of the Earth where most of divergence happens
What is the lithosphere?
300
The theory that proved Alfred Wegener's theory.
What is continental drift?
300
the atmospheric layer of Earth (starts with 'm')

300
The term that refers to the fault located in the sea floor

300
It is formed during the movement of the plates

300
The landform where the plates cross during divergent boundaries

500
Places where some transform boundaries are marked
