The scientist who came up with the hypothesis about the moving apart of continents

6
|
This type of volcanic arc forms when oceanic-continental convergent boundaries occur
|
8
|
A place where oceanic lithosphere sinks into the mantle during subduction
|
10
|
The process of the ocean floor 'changing its skin'; the process of the new ocean floor forming along Earth's mid-ocean ridges, slowly moving outward across ocean basins, and sinking back into the mantle beneath deep ocean trenches
|
11
|
The thing that provides the basic driving forces for plate motion
|
12
|
Rocks that have the polarity that Earth's magnetic field had at the time possess...
|
14
|
The moving apart of continents
|
16
|
The longest feature on Earth's surface; seafloor spreading creates these
|
19
|
The theory that says Earth's lithospheric plates move slowly relative to each other, driven by convection currents in the mantle
|
|
|

|
1
|
A rising column of hot, solid mantle rock
|
2
|
The sideways and downward movement of the edge of the a plate of either oceanic or continental lithosphere into the mantle beneath another plate
|
4
|
The type boundary where two plates move together
|
5
|
This type of volcanic arc forms when oceanic-oceanic convergent boundaries occur
|
7
|
The type of boundary where two plates grind past one another
|
9
|
'All land'
|
13
|
The central part of the longest feature on Earth's surface
|
15
|
When stiff ocean lithosphere slides down into the asthenosphere that is elevated hear mid-ocean ridges
|
17
|
Sound, navigation, and ranging
|
18
|
The type of boundary where two plates move apart
