Tectonic Plates
3
Transform boundary
4
A break in the Earths crust along which blocks
of the crust slide relative to one another due
to tectonic forces.
5
The process by which new oceanic crust forms at
mid-ocean ridges as tectonic plates are pulled
away from each other.
6
The boundary between two colliding tectonic
plates.
7
Fault
8
Lithosphere
9
Divergent Boundary
10
The boundary between two tectonic plates that are
sliding past each other horizontally.
11
Convergent Boundary
12
Huge pieces of the lithosphere that move around
on top of the asthenosphere.
13
The partially molten layer of the upper mantle on
which the tectonic plates of the lithosphere move.
14
The boundary between two tectonic plates that are
moving away from each other.
15
Sea floor spreading
16
The outer most rigid layer of the Earth that
consists of the crust and the rigid uppermost
part of the mantle.
17
Asthenosphere
