DIVERGENT BOUNDARIES
cause
SEAFLOOR SPREADING
occurs at
MID-OCEAN RIDGES

TRANSFORM BOUNDARIES
Occurs when tectonic plates slide past each other
can cause → EARTHQUAKES
can occur along → PLATE BOUNDARIES
Continental Drifts
describes the movement of CONTINENTS
is explained by the movement of TECTONIC PLATES
Is supported by FOSSIL RECORDS
show similar fossils on different continents
Paleomagnetism
provides evidence for SEAFLOOR SPREADING
records Earth's magnetic field in rocks
MID-OCEAN RIDGES
create new rock that records
supports the theory of PLATE TECTONICS
HOTSPOTS
are areas where magma rises from Earth's interior
can create VOLCANOES
can form chains of
VOLCANOES
To rise and cool into new crust
