Periodic Table

Molten rock under ground

Molten rock on top of ground

Molten Rock

Spot/Place where two plates meet

Boudaries

3 Types

Transform Boudary

Two plates pass by each other

Convergent Boudaries

2 Plates push each other;
one is forced to go underneath

Subduction

one lithosphere tectonic plate
goes under the other

Trench

Ridges

Chains of mountains; tectonic
plates extend upwards

Mountain

Causes land and magma
to form upwards

Divergent Boudaries

2 plates pull away from each other

When 2 plates spread apart, magma and rock
will shoot up through crack to cause a
mountainous form

Cracks

Faults

Cracks are where
boudaries
are

Metamorphic Rock

Rock formed by heat of core, or
pressure of moving tectonic plates

Sedimentary Rock

Rock form from sediment transported by
water/gas

Igneous Rock

Rock formed from magma cools
underground and lava cools above ground
