Who is Wegner?
This is any weak spot in the crust where magma turns to lava.
What is a volcano?
This layer contains convection currents which drive seafloor spread.
What is the mantle?
This is an underwater mountain range with a V-shape valley down the middle where new crust is formed.
What is a mid-ocean ridge?
This side of the fault lies directly below the fault line.
What is the footwall?
This occurs when rock snaps back into its original shape after too much stress is applied.
What is elastic rebound?
Felicia lava tends to form this type of volcano.
What is cinder cone volcano?
A column of super heated rock that causes hot spot volcanoes.
What is a mantle plume?
These zones are where friction and fluids combine with the surrounding rock to form magma.
