Clues

  • How do the plates move? (10, 8)
  • Two plate moving apart from one another - what plate boundary is this? (12)
  • Two plates 'sliding' past each other - which plate boundary is this? (19)
  • Two plates colliding, one sub-ducts underneath the other - what is this plate boundary called? (11)
  • What is the name given to the feature made by; At a destructive margin the sediment in the subduction zone is compressed into rock and forced upwards (also formed at collision margins) (4, 9)
  • What name is given to the phenomena in which a magma plume burns through thin crust (3, 4, 7)
  • Which Lava is described as 'viscous', 'slow', 'solidifies quickly' and 'can cause immense pressure' (6, 4)
  • Who created the 'Jigsaw fit of the Atlantic' originally? (7, 5)
  • Who then improved the jigsaw fit theory by matching the 'continental shelves'? (6, 6)
