Plate tectonics | Plate tectonics are the theory of plate movement |
Convergent boundary | Convergent boundary when the boundary when two tectonic plates collide |
Divergent boundary | The divergent boundary when two tectonic plates separate |
Transform boundary | The transform boundary when two tectonic plates slide across each other |
Convection current | The convection current is the changing in density in circular motions that move the tectonic plates |
Wagner | Wagner was the man who made the theroy that once all continents were connected |
Volcano | A volcano is a area of earths surface through which magma and volcanic gasses pass |
Hot spots | A hot spot is a volcanically active area of earths surface far from a tectonic plate boundary |
Mid ocean ridges | Mid ocean ridges are a long undersea mountain chain that forms along the ocean floor |
Subduction | Subduction is when two ocean plates collide and one folds over the other |
Vent | A vent is an opening at the surface of the earth where volcanic material passes through |
