Divergent boundary

Divergent boundary

________ is when two plates go apart from each other and example of this is the mid ocean ridge.

Cinder cones

________ are small, steep- sided volcanoes that erupt gas rich, basaltic lavas composite volcanoes are large, steep- sided volcanoes that result from explosive eruptions of thick lava along convergent plate boundaries.

Molten rock

________ below Earths surface is called magma.

Convergent boundaries

________ are when two plates move together.

Sediment

________ that is deposited in water typically forms layers that are called beds.

What are plunges

________ theorize that hotspots form over plunes, which are places where hot magma rises due to convection currents in the mantle.

How do Mountains form

________ form two ways- from lava erupting and building up along the ridge or from rocks sliding up and down along the cracks (faults) in the seafloor.

What is a volcano

A(n) ________ is a vent in Earths crust through which molten rock flows.

Earthquake

________ are vibrations in the ground that result from movement along breaks in Earths lithosphere.

Low energy environments

________ include swamps, deep lakes, and areas with slow moving air or water.

block of rock

A fault is a break in Earths lithosphere where one ________ moves toward, away from, or past another block.

High energy environments

________ include ocean shores, rushing rivers, and deserts with strong winds.

spherical concentric regions of matter

Any of the almost ________ that make up the earth and its atmosphere, as the lithosphere and hydrosphere.

epicenter of an earthquake

The ________ is the location on Earths surface directly above the focus.
