directly under lithosphere in which rock is
soft & weak.
I have: Pangaea
I have: Asthenosphere
Who has: A column of hot material rises
from deep within a planet’s mantle & heats
the lithosphere above it, often causing
volcanic activity
I have: Hot spot

tectonic plates move apart
Who has: the layer of rock between
Earth’s outer core & crust, in which most
rock is hot enough to flow in convection
currents

Who has: Boundary along which 2 plates
carrying continental crust push together
Who has: layer of molten metal, mainly
iron & nickel, surrounds Earth’s inner core

collision
Who has: Large moving pieces into
which Earth’s lithosphere is broken
I have: Outer core

Who has: An oceanic tectonic plate sinks
under another plate into Earth’s mantle.
Who has: Deep valley formed as tectonic
plates move apart, such as along a midocean ridge
I have: Subduction
Who has: Layer of Earth made up of crust
& rigid rock of upper mantle, broken into
plate tectonics.
I have: rift valley
Who has: Thin outer layer of rock above a
planet’s mantle, includes all dry land &
ocean basins.

continents were once joined in a large
landmass and then moved to their current
location.
