Feature at an oceanic-continental convergent boundary
Volcanic mountain ranges
100
Glaciers dropping rock and sand to form new landforms is an example of this
Deposition
100
This is the largest of the three volcano types
Shield volcanoes
100
The type of fault at convergent boundaries
Reverse Fault
200
This feature allows earth's inner core to remain solid despite extreme heat
Pressure
200
Old crust is recycled at convergent boundaries by this process
Subduction
200
A feature that is NOT an agent of erosion?
Sun
200
The most explosive type of volcano
Cinder cones
200
The type of fault at a divergent boundary
Normal Fault
300
This process causes tectonic plates to move along divergent boundaries and recycles old crust at subduction zones
Mantle convection
300
Crust is neither destroyed nor formed along these boundaries
Transform
300
The process that causes a metal statue to slowly turn green after years of being outside
Chemical weathering
300
This type alternates between explosive and calm eruptions
Composite
300
The balance between gravity pulling down and the asthenosphere pushing up
Isostacy
400
The study of the history of Earth’s magnetic field
Paleomagnetism
400

Hawaii
400
The sinking of heated lithosphere that moves a ridge outward
Ridge Push
500
A plate boundary that produces volcanic island arcs
Oceani-oceanic convergent boundaries

Wegener couldn't explain why or how the continents moved. This resulted in his theory being what?
Rejected
