200
The theory that states that hot molten magma rises to the surface and solidifies to form new earth.
What is sea-floor spreading?
200
The type of plate boundary in which two plates slide past each other.
What is transform boundary?
200
The type of heat energy that is transferred through direct contact.
What is conduction?
300
The layer of the Earth in which we live on.
What is the lithosphere?
300
The theory that explains how older rocks and fossils are positioned closer to the bottom of the Earth and the younger, newer layers are on top.
What is superposition?

The theory that states that all continents were once a supercontinent and have since moved to their current locations.
What is continental drift?
300
The type of plate boundary in which two plates collide.
What are convergent boundaries?

The type of plate boundary is which two plates separate from each other.
What are divergent boundaries?
400
The type of heat energy that helps move the tectonic plates.
What is convection?
500
Pieces of the lithosphere that move around on top of the asthenosphere.
What are tectonic plates?
