Plate Tectonics & Topography

This is the process in which hot material rises and cool material sinks to drive plate motion

Oceanic plate is more dense than continent. They collide, one sinks, melts, and makes volcanos

This is the type of plate motion that causes plates to move away from one another

This is the type of plate motion that causes plates to move past one another horizontally

The words flat and arid mean...

These are features made at a subduction zone

Rocks in Texas and rocks in Antarctica are the same age and came from the same volcano

Where are most of Earth's volcanic mountains located?

This is the process that happens at a mid-ocean ridge

The contour lines on a topographic map show:

Similar plant and animal fossils are found on different continents. This is evidence for:

People use satellite images in order to see

This is the force that moves the plates

How do you find the distance a hiker climbed on a topo map?

What is an underwater mountain chain that forms along the seafloor called?

This is the type of plate motion that causes plates to move toward one another

Rising magma with subductionin the ocean will form

The mid ocean ridge in the picture is made by what motion of the plates?

A break or crack where two plates slide past one another

Most mountain ranges occur at this type of plate boundary

Where would you find the youngest ocean floor be found?

Sea-floor spreading occurs at this type of plate boundary

This is made as two continental plates converge
