A.
When two tectonic plates with continental crust collide, they buckle and thicken, which pushes the crusts upward forming mountain chains.
B.
When the denser, heavier oceanic lithosphere sinks and pulls the rest of the tectonic plate with it.
C.
Hot rock deep within the Earth causes the oceanic lithosphere to move sideways away from the mid-ocean ridge.
D.
The theory that explains how large pieces of the Earth's outermost layer, called tectonic plates, move and change shape.
E.
The boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.
F.
large block of lithospheric plate that has been moved, often over a distance of 1000 of kilometers, and attached to the edge of a continent.
G.
are deep valleys at the center of a mid ocean ridge.
H.
An example of an underwater divergent boundary.
I.
When two plates of oceanic crust collide with one sinking below the other into the aesthenosphere.
J.
giant landmass
K.
When a plate with oceanic crust collides with a plate of continental crust, the denser oceanic crust sinks into the asthenosphere.
L.
The area where the oceanic crust sinks down into the asthenosphere and melts.
