Continental Drift , Today there are identical rocks, fossils, and mountain ranges found on different continents separated by whole oceans. These things are evidence that the continents have moved a lot over the past millions of years. , Convergent Plate  , Plates collide meaning they move toward each other, Deep-ocean trench, Mountains form when two continental plates converge., Divergent plate , Plates moving away from each other. This often creates new oceanic crust, which means they create oceans or cause oceans that were already there to become wider., Lithosphere plates, Earth’s crust is made of large plates. Some are the size of entire continents and oceans., Mid-ocean ridge, A chain of underwater volcanoes that forms a divergent boundary, Supercontinent, A single landmass that includes two or more continents., Transform plate, (plates sliding past each other) - This can happen with any combination of crust (continental & continental, continental & oceanic, or oceanic & oceanic). This creates earthquakes., Land mass, a large, unbroken area of land, Convection, The movements of liquid metal in the Earth's outer core, which gives us the magnetic field, is an example of convection., Fossil Distribution, The geographical spread of fossils across different rock layers and geological formations..
