occurs where 2 plates are sliding past each other in opposite directions with little up or down motion

3
|
ajor geological event that occurs when continental plates of equal density converge
|
|
5
|
Major geological events that occur when a dense plate subducts below a less dense plate as they converge
|
|
6
|
Huge pieces of lithosphere that slowly move on the asthenosphere, and consist of the

7
|
The sphere of solid nickel and iron at the center of Earth

8
|
occurs where 2 plates come together
|
|
9
|
The cool, rigid, outermost layer of Earth consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle
|
|
10
|
occurs where 2 plates pull apart
|
|
11
|
an upper layer of the mantle that causes movement of the lithosphere because of its plasticity
|
|
12
|
The thin solid outermost layer of Earth; made of less dense silicates
|
|
14
|
Major geological events that occur when plates shift suddenly and release stored energy; a frequent occurrence at transform boundaries
|
|
15
|
ovement of plates create dense oceanic crust that sinks lower in the asthenosphere than the less dense continental crust, resulting in depressions on Earth's surface that fill with water
