100
the plates moving away from each other
What is the movement of a divergent boundary
100
towards each other
What is the movement of a convergent boundary
100
the plates slide past each other

Mid-Atlantic Ridge
What is a divergent boundary
200
boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other
What is the definition of divergent boundary
200
mid-ocean ridge
What is an example of divergent boundaries
200
two oceanic plates collide and one sinks under the other
What is oceanic-oceanic collision
200
the plates grind and jerk while they slide
What is the cause of earthquakes on transform boundaries
200
San Andreas Fault
What is a transform boundary
300
a super land mass where all of the continents started out
What is the definition of Pangaea
300
a convection current occurs, splits apart the lithosphere, hot and young crust forms as old cool crust is pushed farther away
What is the reason for these type of boundaries to move
300
the more dense crust subducts under the less dense, thicker crust and melts into the stratosphere and is recycled to make a volcanic arc
What is oceanic-continental collisions
300
the ages of the sea floor are not aligned
What is evidence of a transform boundary
300
the Andes Mountains
What is a convergent boundary (continental-oceanic)
400
the theory that explains how large pieces of Earth's outermost layer move and change shape
What is plate tectonics
400
oceanic crust
What is the crust type present in a mid-ocean ridge
400
two thick, less dense plates collide and buckle and thicken so the crust is pushed back upward
What is continental-continental collisions
400
the plates have irregular edges which results in...
What is a transform boundaries moving

Juan de Fuca
What is a triple junction including divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries
500
the process by which new oceanic lithosphere forms as magma rises to Earth's surface and solidifies at a mid-ocean ridge
What is the definition of sea floor spreading
500
mid ocean ridge, rift valley, and earthquakes
What is features that form
500
Subduction, Trench, Volcano, Volcanic Arc, Volcanic Island Arc, Earthquake
