convergent boundary :known as a destructive plate boundary (because of seduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide .
divergent boundary : also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.
transform boundary : also known as conservative plate boundary since these faults neither create nor destroy lithosphere, is a type of fault whose relative motion is predominantly horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction.
plate tectonics : a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and many associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of rigid lithosphere plates that move slowly over the underlying mantle.
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.
Pangaea : super continent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It formed approximately 300 million years ago and then began to break apart after about 100 million years. Wikipedia.
Volcano Formation : a vent in the earth's crust through which lava, steam, ashes, etc., are expelled, either continuously or at irregular intervals.
Elastic rebound : is an explanation for how energy is spread during earthquakes. As rocks on opposite sides of a fault are subjected to force and shift, they accumulate energy and slowly deform until their internal strength is exceeded.
