Plate Boundaries
$100
The ridge in the middle of the
Atlantic Ocean is an example
of this type of plate
boundary.
Plate Boundaries
$200
Mountains, volcanoes, and
earthquakes can be
found at these 2 types of
plate boundaries.
Plate Boundaries
$300
The Himalayan Mountains
were formed as a result of
this specific type of plate
boundary.
Plate Boundaries
$400
The San Andreas Fault in
southern California occurred
as a result of this type of plate
boundary.
Plate Boundaries $500
Deep sea trenches and
volcanoes often result at
this specific type of plate
boundary.
Definitions 1
$100
The study of the formation
and movement of Earth’s
plates.
Definitions 1
$200
A single solid layer made up of
the crust and upper mantle. It
is rigid and broken into plates.
Its thickness can vary
depending on the type of crust
it contains.
Definitions 1 $300
Thought to cause plate
movement. It is the part of the
Earth’s interior where
convection currents are
thought to occur.
Definitions 1
$400
Fossil remains of this small
reptile, that lived 270 million
years ago, are found in Brazil
and South Africa but are not
found anywhere else on Earth.
Definitions 1 $500
Boundaries in which two
lithospheric plates are
moving apart?
Definitions 2 $100
A break or crack in the
Earth’s crust along which
movement has occurred.
Definitions 2 $200
A boundary that forms
when two plates come
together, or converge.
Definitions 2 $300
A boundary that forms at a
converging boundary
involving two continents.
Definitions 2 $400
Ancient continental cores.
They are usually the
oldest (4 billion years old)
and most altered rock of
the continent.
Definitions 2 $500
A large block of lithospheric
plate that has been moved
over a great distance and is
attached to the edge of a
continent.

represented which layers
of the Earth?
Labs $400

magnetic minerals
always line up?
Misc. $400
What did the cake icing
represent?
Misc. $500
Using the orange as an
example, name 1 way in
which to create
mountains. Be specific.
