Plate Tectonics
8
subduction: the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.
divergent: moving inward
convergent: is an actively deforming region where plate tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide.
transform: where plates slide sideways past each other
mid ocean ridges:An example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
deep ocean trenches: subduction usually happens when these form
sea floor spreading:the formation of new areas of oceanic crust, which occurs through the up-welling of magma at mid-ocean ridges and its subsequent outward movement on either side.
earthquakes:when rocks break
