composed mainly of _______________________ but with some viscous rock in a semisolid state, called________________. Its divided into two regions: the _______________ mantle and the _______________ mantle. The Crust is the layer. Its a solid, rigid layer, made of _________and consisting of: the __________________ crust (The continents) and the _________________ curst (The ocean floor).
The ________________________, is broken into several large blocks of rock called plates. These plates, which hold the ___________________ and oceans, are slowly but constantly ________________.
The border between two tectonic plates is called a ____________________. In a _________________ boundary the plates move one towards the other. (They collide with each other). There are two possibilities: An _________________ plate collides with a ______________ plate. And a _________________ plate collides with another ____________________ plate. At _________________ boundaries, tectonic plates are moving away from each other. But if these huge masses of crust are moving apart, what happens in the space left between them? As plates (made of oceanic crust) pull apart, a ___________ in the ocean floor appears. Magma then goes out from the mantle and cools to form new sections of ______________. 6. Define fold and fault and write some examples of mountains formed with each of them.
