Plate Boundaries
In this type of boundary, plates are moving towards each other.
Convergent Boundary
What is the most inner layer of the earth
Inner Core
What is the name of the theory that states the earth's crust is made of large sections moving over the mantle.
Plate Tectonics
Formed from Volcanoes
Igneous Rock
First organism to live on Earth
Blue-Green Algae
In this type of boundary, plates are moving away from each other.
Divergent Boundary
What oozes out of the earth when plates diverge?
Magma
Law of Superposition
Formed from high heat and pressure.
Metamorphic rock
Trace Fossils
Volcanoes are created at these boundaries.
Convergent Boundaries
When a plate slides under another
Subduction
The though that plates have moved a distance over time.
Wegner's Theory of Continental Drift
Created from weathering and erosion
Sedimentary Rock
These fossils maintain the composition of the organism.
Preserved Remains
In this type of boundary, plates are sliding past each other.
Transform Boundaries
What do continental to continental plate boundaries create?
Mountains
Law of Original Horizontality
Created in the mantle
Metamorphic rock
Most commonly known fossil
Petrified Remains
San Andreas Fault is an example of the boundary.
Transform Boundary
What are the some of the largest mountains created be convergent plate boundaries?
Himilayas
States that the igneous rock that crosses sedimentary rock is the youngest.
Law of Cross-Cutting Relationships
Most fossils
Sedimentary rock
Fossil created to crystals and other minerals maintaining the structure.
