Tectonic Plates
Transform boundary
A break in the Earth’s crust along
which blocks of the crust slide
relative to one another; due to
tectonic forces.
The process by which new oceanic
crust forms at mid-ocean ridges as
tectonic plates are pulled away from
each other.
The boundary between two colliding
tectonic plates.
Fault
Lithosphere
Divergent Boundary
The boundary between two tectonic
plates that are sliding past each other
horizontally.
Convergent Boundary
Huge pieces of the lithosphere that
move around on top of the
asthenosphere.
The partially molten layer of the
upper mantle on which the tectonic
plates of the lithosphere move.
The boundary between two tectonic
plates that are moving away from
each other.
Sea floor spreading
The outer most rigid layer of the
Earth that consists of the crust and
the rigid uppermost part of the
mantle.
Asthenosphere
