What is the 4 types of lava?
400
Huge underwater mountain ranges
What is Mid-Ocean ridges?
400
Movements of tectonic plates create volcanoes along the plate boundaries, which erupt and form mountains.
What causes a Mountain to form?
500
The two sub-layers of the earth's crust (lithosphere) that move, float, and sometimes fracture and whose interaction causes continental drift, earthquakes, volcanoes, mountains, and oceanic trenches.
What is a Tectonic Plate?
500
Vibrations that are caused by earthquakes
What is seismic waves?
500
A decrease in pressure
What is the most common cause of magma formation?
500
Sea-Floor Spreading, Age of the Sea Floor, Ocean Trenches
What is Evidence for The Theory of Plate Tectonics?
500
Formed when hot milton lava flows on the Earth's surface and piles into a cone shaped feature
