200
Form and release magma by pressure

300
the thin outer layer of the Earth above the mantle
What is crust?
300
Plates slide together and are overcome by friction.

300
a boundary between two plates that are moving toward each other or coming together

400
a boundary between two plates that are moving apart

400

depressions of the sea floor

What are ocean trenches?
400
Pacific plate lined with volcanoes
What is the Ring of Fire?
500
the outer shell of the Earth consisting of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle that make up the plates
What is the lithosphere?
500
the transfer of heat by movement of the magma in the mantle that causes the plates to move
What is mantle convection?
500
a boundary between two plates that are sliding past each other
What is a transform boundary?
500
