Most of Earth’s freshwater is?

Why is Earth called the “Blue Planet”?

These plates move sideways past each other & create a break in the Earth’s crust called a fault

Thinnest layer

One of the plate edges can sink below the other in this type of movement

New crust can form at places in the ocean where two plates pull apart from each other

Earthquakes can result from these types of plate movement

Spins as a different speed causing magnetic field

These plates collide or are pushed together

The Himalayan mountains and Mt. Everest can be found at this plate boundary

Most of the Earth’s water is?

Liquid iron and nickel

Transform is

Middle layer

When 2 plates that carry continents crash into each other the edges crumble and form mountains

This layer makes up about 85% of the Earths surface weight

Basalt rock is on the bottom of the ocean

Solid metal

Convergent is

Divergent is

Slow movement of the continents on the surface of the Earth is what Theory?

Thickest layer

Where we live

This type of plate boundary is most often associated with earthquakes

Outer layer

As hot as the suns surface

The Great Rift Valley in Africa occurs on land at this plate boundary

Volcanoes can form along the edges when these types of plate movement

Granite makes up most of our land

These plates slide past each other in opposite directions

This type of plate movement may create new seas when ocean water fills gaps between plates

Mid-Ocean ridge and Sea-Floor spreading happen at this plate boundary

These plates spread apart slowly

Includes oceans and land

Most of the Earth’s water is in the?

Magma

What is called a gigantic “Super Continent”

The San Andreas fault in California is on this type of plate boundary
