What is a convection current?
200
colliding plates
What is a convergent boundary?
200
these mountains form when masses of rock move up and down along a fault.
What is a Fault-block mountain
200
a mountain type formed at both convergent and divergent boundaries.
What is a volcano

What is the lithosphere?
300
separating plates
What is a divergent boundary?
300
a type of mountain formed by erupting magma at an opening in the earth's surface.
What is a volcano
400
the layer below the lithosphere. it is hot, soft and slightly fluid rock
What is the Asthenosphere?
400
