This theory states that Earth’s surface is broken into large, rigid pieces that move with respect to each other.

Scientists have identified 15 of these large objects

This causes tectonic plates to move.

These are the two major types of volcanic eruption

This process refers to a mechanical and chemical processes that change Earth’s surface over time.

This layer of the earth is where humans live.

Paraguay is located on this plate

This boundary causes mountains like the Himalayas

These are vibrations caused by the rupture and sudden movement of rocks along a break or a crack in Earth’s crust.

Weathering breaks down rocks into this.

The rocks in this layer (sphere) the are strong and do not bend easily.

This boundary is when two plates slide past one another, like two cars passing on a street.

This feature is found at underwater divergent boundaries.

These are often found near plate boundaries

These 5 things can cause physical weathering

The crust and uppermost part of the mantle, make up the this layer (sphere) _______.

Volcanos are found at this type of convergent boundary

Volcanos are found at these two types of boundaries

The most powerful earthquakes are found at these types of boundaries

Unlike physical weathering, this type of weathering changes the composition of the rocks

This layer (sphere) of earth is hotter than the lithosphere and can bend more easily.

North America and Europe once were part of this large continent.

Earthquakes are found at these types of boundaries

70%+ of all volcanos and 80%+ of all earthquakes occur along this feature.

After a rock is weathered, first this process moves the rock and then another process deposits the sediment.
