 Theory that the Earth is made of large moveable plates

 Plate boundary where plates move away from each other

 The crust and the rigid part of the mantle make up the _____________________________

 Type of Plate Boundary

 Plate Boundary where two plates slide past each other

 Plastic-like part of the mantle that tectonic plates move on

 Geologic feature that results from a continental-continental convergent boundary

 Type of fault associated with a divergent boundary

 Type of fault associated with a convergent boundary

 Layer of the Earth that is made of solid metal

 Type of fault associated with a transform boundary

 Feature created at the subduction zone of an oceanic-oceanic or oceanic-continental convergent boundary

 Geologic feature created from divergent boundaries and most convergent boundaries where magma rises to the surface

 Law that states that the oldest rocks are on the bottom and younger rocks are found on top

 Layer of the Earth that is made of liquid metal

 Area in the Pacific Ocean with large amounts of volcanic activity and earthquakes

 Method used to find the absolute age of rock layers

 Type of energy transfer in the mantle that causes tectonic plates to move

 Feature that forms when two oceanic plates diverge

 The densest type of crust

 Law that states that a rock layer that cuts across another one is younger than the one it cuts across

 Law that states that a rock layer that grows into another rock layer is younger than the preexisting rock

 Layer of the Earth that is rigid on top and becomes more plastic-like as you move towards the core of the Earth

 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
