A | B |
Pangaea | theory that all of the continents were once joined together |
Convergent boundary | When 2 tectonic plates collide |
Divergent Boundary | When 2 tectonic plates move away from each other |
Transform Boundary | when 2 plates slide past each other |
Folded mountains | created when 2 conitnental plates crash into each other |
Volcanic Mountains | created when an oceanic plate crashes into a continental plate |
Subduction | when the more dense plate slides under the less dens plate |
Mid ocean ridge | created when 2 ocean plates move away from each other (underwater mountains) |
Earthquake | caused by transform boundaries sliding past each other |
convection currents | circular currents where hot matter rises and cool matter sinks |
Mantle | made of magma, tectonic plates rest on it |
