2
Theory that the Earth is made of large moveable plates
3
Plate boundary where plates move away from each other
4
The crust and the rigid part of the mantle make up the _____________________________
5
Type of Plate Boundary
6
Plate Boundary where two plates slide past each other
7
Plastic-like part of the mantle that tectonic plates move on
8
Geologic feature that results from a continental-continental convergent boundary
9
Type of fault associated with a divergent boundary
10
Type of fault associated with a convergent boundary
11
Layer of the Earth that is made of solid metal
12
Type of fault associated with a transform boundary
13
Feature created at the subduction zone of an oceanic-oceanic or oceanic-continental convergent boundary
14
Geologic feature created from divergent boundaries and most convergent boundaries where magma rises to the surface
15
Law that states that the oldest rocks are on the bottom and younger rocks are found on top
16
Layer of the Earth that is made of liquid metal
17
Area in the Pacific Ocean with large amounts of volcanic activity and earthquakes
18
Method used to find the absolute age of rock layers
19
Type of energy transfer in the mantle that causes tectonic plates to move
20
Feature that forms when two oceanic plates diverge
21
The densest type of crust
22
Law that states that a rock layer that cuts across another one is younger than the one it cuts across
23
Law that states that a rock layer that grows into another rock layer is younger than the preexisting rock
24
Layer of the Earth that is rigid on top and becomes more plastic-like as you move towards the core of the Earth
25
Type of geologic activity that happens when trapped water beneath the Earth’s surface is heated and then rises to the surface of the Earth
