AB
Pangaeatheory that all of the continents were once joined together
Convergent boundaryWhen 2 tectonic plates collide
Divergent BoundaryWhen 2 tectonic plates move away from each other
Transform Boundarywhen 2 plates slide past each other
Folded mountainscreated when 2 conitnental plates crash into each other
Volcanic Mountainscreated when an oceanic plate crashes into a continental plate
Subductionwhen the more dense plate slides under the less dens plate
Mid ocean ridgecreated when 2 ocean plates move away from each other (underwater mountains)
Earthquakecaused by transform boundaries sliding past each other
