Rumbling, Rumbling
Trenches and volcanoes would be found near this plate boundary.
Convergent
One of the moving, irregularly shaped slabs that make up the Earth's lithosphere
a Plate
This plate movement is when two plates slide alongside one another.
Transform
A boundary where crust is neither created nor destroyed
Transform boundary
This long, narrow depression is formed when ocean plates converge.
oceanic trench
A Play doh-like layer below the lithosphere.
Astenosphere
This plate movement means to move together.
convergent
The plate tectonics theory states that this layer has plates that move around.
The lithosphere
What is the cause of the island building in Hawaii?
A hot spot
This is the primary force causing plate motion.
Convection currents
This is a boundary where the plates move apart
A divergent boundary
The youngest rocks on the ocean floor are typically located near what feature?
A divergent ocean ridge
This is where 80% of the worlds volcanoes can be found.
The Ring of Fire
What is the stone like layer of the Earth called?
Lithosphere
This is a chain of islands formed by a convergent plate boundary.
Volcanic arcs
This is where crust is recycled.
A convergent plate boundary.
