asthenosphere: the lower layer of the crust.
plate boundaries: the place where one or more plates meet.
plate tectonics: the branch of geology studying the folding and faulting of the earth''s crust.
tectonic plates: huge slabs of rock that have an irregular shape.
convergent: tending to move toward one point or to approach each other.
divergent: tending to move apart in different directions.
transform plate: an area where two plates move sideways or slide past each other, scrapping, deforming the edges of continents without destruction and formation of new crest.
faults: are zones of weakness in the crust.
active faults: if there has been movement during the last 10,000 yrs.
inactive faults: those areas which had not exhibit activity for million of years.
foot wall: the surface or block that lies below the plane of the fault.
reverse fault: this fault is formed due to strong compressional that push the crust towards each other.
lateral fault: is due to horizontal forces that slide the crust pass each other.
oceanic plates: the plate which lies under the ocean.
