Lithosphere 0.0 / 5 ? GeologyLithospherePlate TectonicsA2/A-levelWJEC Created by: Tophat ValleycatCreated on: 23-05-18 20:32 Name of the boundary that is between the crust and the mantle. Moho 1 of 11 A plate boundary where two plates are colliding. Convergent 2 of 11 A plate boundary where two plates are pulling apart. Divergent 3 of 11 A plate boundary where two plates move side by side. Conservative 4 of 11 Process that takes place in the asthenosphere to pull plate apart or together Convection 5 of 11 Plate mechanism that involves magma upwelling to push two plates apart. Ridge push 6 of 11 Plate mechanism where a denser plate is subducted due to gravity and the rocks being very dense. Slab pull 7 of 11 Plate mechanism where the cold dense oceanic crust is denser than the mantle so it is pulled down. Negative buoyancy 8 of 11 The way the lithosphere behaves responding to deformation at a shallow depth. Brittle 9 of 11 The way the lithosphere behaves responding to deformation at an increasing depth. Plastic 10 of 11 Tectonic event that occurs at every plate boundary due to a build up of stress. Earthquake 11 of 11
