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.,
