Plate Boundaries $300

The Himalayan Mountains were formed as a result of this specific type of plate

boundary.

The San Andreas Fault in southern California occurred

as a result of this type of plate boundary.

boundary.

Definitions 1 $100

The study of the formation and movement of Earth’s

plates.

Definitions 1 $200A 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

Earth’s interior where convection currents are

thought to occur.

Definitions 1 $400

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
