Vocabulary Quiz #26 4/4/11- 4/8/11 1. continental drift- the hypothesis that the continents slowly move across Earth’s surface. 2. convection currents- the movement of a fluid, caused by differences in temperature, that transfers thermal energy from one place to another. 3. mid-ocean ridge- the undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced; a divergent plate boundary. 4. deep ocean trench- a deep valley along the ocean floor through which oceanic crust slowly sink toward the mantle. 5. rift valley- a deep valley that forms where two plates move apart. 6. oceanic crust- crust beneath the ocean. (basalt) 7. continental crust- crust that forms the continents.
