Plate Tectonic
20
convergent Boundary:when two tectonic plates collide
Divergent Boundary:when two tectonic plates seperate
Transform Boundary:when two tectonic plates slide past each other
Outer core:the core is made mostly of iron and nickle
Inner core:is described as a solid ball
Mantle:is the thickest layer of the earth structure
Crust:is the thinnest layer
Continental drift:hypothesis when there was just one big continent, broke apart and now are in there present places
Alfred wegener:came up with the hypothesis about continental drift
sea floor spreading:caused by divergent boundary
San Andrea Fault:example of transform boundary
Tectonic Plate:is an example on how large pieces of earths outermost layer
Boundary:where tectonic plates touch
Continental oceanic:when a plate with oceanic and one with continental collide
Continental continental:when two continental plates collide
oceanic oceanic: when two oceanic plates collide
GPS:helps scientists to measure the rate of the tectonic plate movement
Earthquake:caused by plate tectonic when plates shift
lithosphere:the outer layer of the five layer of earth
asthenosphere:is the layer below the lithosphere
