St. Helens Juan De Fuca The surface of the Earth is broken up into several of these. Plates/Tectonic Plates The Himalayas are being formed due to this type of boundary Convergent Boundary Huge divergent boundary located in the Atlantic Ocean The Mid-Atlantic Ridge The San Andreas Fault line is located at this type of boundary Transform Boundary The area where one plates is being pushed under another plate Subduction Zone The molten liquid portion of the Earth’s interior The Outer Core Portion of the Earth that consists of the Earth’s outer crust and upper mantle The Lithosphere When an ocean plate and continental plate collide, this plate will subduct because it is denser Ocean Plate Boundary between the lower mantle and outer core Guttenberg Discontinuity The reason why it is so hot deep within the Earth’s mantle Radioactive Elements When rocks fracture or break, this is formed A Fault This type of forces squeezes Rocks together Compression At a strike-slip fault the force acting on the rock is a ____________force Shear The San Andreas fault line is an example of this fault A strike-slip fault Area where one plate is subducting under another plate is called an oceanic__________. Trench Formed when two ocean plates collide Trench and Volcanic Islands Wegener believed the continents were moving apart because of this Spinning of Earth on its axis Mt. St. Helens was formed due to this type of boundary Convergent Boundary At a divergent boundary, magma rises to the surface because of Change in pressure This scientist said the continents are plowing through the ocean floors Alfred Wegener Make your wager Convection currents within the Earth’s mantle Final Jeopardy The leading theory behind why the plates are moving
