LAYERS OF THE EARTH There are _____ layers of the Earth: CRUST ___________- Mohorovičić discontinuity MANTLE OUTER _________ _________ CORE

TWO CRUST TYPES There are __________different types of _________. Continental crust which is what the _____________ are and what they are moving on. The crust is made of rock - ___________ __________ Crust which is what is below the oceans, the __________ are on top of the oceanic crust. The crust is made of rock - _________

TWO CRUST TYPES Continental crust is _________ and oceanic crust BUT oceanic crust is_____________ than continental crust.

WHY THEY MOVE The Earth’s plates move because of______________ currents in the_________.

WHAT THEY ARE

WHAT THEY ARE The plates are made up of the___________ and____________ crust on the planet. The plates are____________ into different sizes and__________. The______________ move around the planet because of convection____________ in the mantle

HOW THE MOVE The plates move in three major directions with variations in each type. The directions are: ______________ _______________

CONVERGENT Convergent means come_______________ or converge in one_________. The plates are__________ towards each other until they meet.

TYPES OF CONVERGENT Oceanic vs Oceanic – you get______________ mountains Continental vs Continental you get_________ Oceanic vs Continental – _______________

CONVERGENT-SUBDUCTION Subduction – the____________ plate goes below the continental plate due to the density of the Oceanic plate ____________

DIVERGENT NOT THE BOOK/MOVIE!! The plates are moving_________ from each other.

Divergent Two types of_____________ plates Oceanic vs oceanic – sea_________ spreading and mid___________ ridges . Continental vs_______________ - rift valleys

TRANSFORM Two plates__________ against each other.
