Subduction Zone
An area where one tectonic plate moves under another, creating deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs.
Orogeny
The process of mountain formation, typically through tectonic plate collisions.
Explosive Volcanism
Volcanic eruptions characterized by the violent release of gas and ash, often occurring at convergent boundaries.
Mid-Ocean Ridge
An underwater mountain range formed by seafloor spreading at divergent boundaries.
Tsunami
A series of ocean waves caused by the sudden displacement of water, often due to earthquakes.
Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary
The boundary between the rigid lithosphere and the semi-fluid asthenosphere, crucial for tectonic movement.
Earth's Inner Core
The solid innermost layer of the Earth, composed primarily of iron and nickel.
Earth's Outer Core
The fluid layer of the Earth's core that lies beneath the mantle and surrounds the inner core.
Geothermal Gradient
The rate at which temperature increases with depth in the Earth's crust.
Seismic Waves
Waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers, often caused by earthquakes.
Rift Valley
A lowland region formed by tectonic plates moving apart, often associated with divergent boundaries.
