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
|

|
The thing that provides the basic driving forces for plate motion

Rocks that have the polarity that Earth's magnetic field had at the time possess...

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

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

The type of boundary where two plates grind past one another

'All land'

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

Sound, navigation, and ranging
