Lithospheric Plate or Tectonic Plate
Theory of Plate Tectonics
Features for when two oceanic plates diverge
Transform Fault
Features for when a continent diverges
Two Oceanic Plates Diverging
Convection Current
Continental Plate Divergent Boundary
Plate Boundary
Transform Fault features
Earthquakes & sometimes hills (sometime no hills)
Mid-ocean ridge and seafloor spreading
Found in the mantle. They cause the lithospheric plates or tectonic plates to move around the planet
Explanation that the Earth's lithosphere is cracked into sections that move due to convection currents.
Rift valley and earthquakes
Giant cracked sections of the Earth
Place where two tectonic plates meet
