Plates
Faults
Transform Boundaries
Divergent Boundaries
100
cause earthquakes, tsunamis, mountains
What do plates cause?
100
Fractures in Earth's crust where rocks on either side of the crack have slid past each other.
What is a fault
100
place where two plates slip past each other, in opposite directions.
What is a transform boundary
100
a deep valley
What is a Rift valley?
200
A large section of the earth
What is a plate?
200
strike-slip, normal and thrust (reverse) faults.
What are the three types of faults
200
connect segments of mid-ocean ridges
What do transform boundaries do
200
forms where two plates move apart or diverge
What is a divergent boundary?
300
Lithosphere in slow constant motion
What is plate tectonics
300
hundreds of miles long or just inches.
How long is a fault
300
portions of the rock to break, resulting in earthquakes.
What do transform boundaries cause
300
when it develops on land, two of Earth’s plates move apart
What do transform boundaries do?
400
Driven by convection currents in the mantle
What do plate tectonics do
400
earthquakes
What do faults cause
400
where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
How do transform boundaries move
400
causes mid-ocean ridges, kind of like a volcano
What do divergent boundaries cause?
500
Formation of movement and subduction of plates.
What does plate tectonics cause
500
when the stress on the rock is great enough to cause a fracture
How do faults form
500
no
In transform boundaries, can a new crust be created
500
two plates move apart
How do divergent boundaries move?
