Divergent Plate Boundaries (plates move ) -An example is the ______-_________ Ridge. -_________ oozes up from underneath and creates new _____ _________ -The process of making new oceanic lithosphere is called ___________ ____________ and is the way the Atlantic Ocean formed. Not Known to Wegner -The plates spread about __ cm per year which is about how fast your _ ___________. _ ___ -The oldest ocean floor is located at the _________ of the ___________ and the youngest at the __________ where the mid-ocean ridge is located. -In continental rifting, molten rock _________ from below to _________ the crust, The crust fractures to form a _______ _________ which eventually fills in with __________ forming a __________ sea like the ________ _________. This eventually becomes an ____________. Convergent Plate Boundaries (Plates move -Lithosphere is being _________ at these boundaries. ) There are 3 types of converging boundaries: 1. Oceanic-Continental: __________. Lithosphere is _________ below continental lithosphere. ___________lithosphere always gets sub ducted under the _________ lithosphere and is called a _________ zone. A_________ is formed where it bends down. As the oceanic lithosphere descends, it triggers _________ due to the release of the salt _________ it contains. The _______ rises creating a chain of __________ called a continental _________ _____. An example is the ___________ mountains and Mt. St.____________ which produce __________ eruptions. 2. Oceanic- Oceanic: one __________ plate is ___________ below another ___________ plate. _________ grow up from the ocean floor and eventually form a __________ Island arc. The form parallel to a deep- __________ ________. 3. Continental- Continental: Continental crust is too ___________ to set ______________. The resulting ____________ causes mountains that are ________ volcanic like the _____________. Transform Fault Boundaries (plates move past each other, they produce ______________. __________.
