Oceanic Crust - Thin dense crust found under the ocean, Continental Crust - Thick less dense crust found on continents, Plate Boundary - Where two plates meet and either collide or pull away from each other, Divergent Boundary - Boundary where two plates are pulling away from each other, Convergent Boundary - Boundary where two plates are pushing towards each other, Transform Boundary - Boundary where two plates are sliding past one another, Subduction - Convergent boundary where dense oceanic crust slides down into the mantle underneath continental crust, Slab Pull - Oceanic crust sinking down into the mantle during subduction pulls the rest of the plate along behind it, Convection Current - Circular movement of mantle driven by heating/cooling that pushes plates floating on top of them, Hikurangi Trough - Pacific oceanic plate subducts underneath the Australian plate in the North Island, Alpine Fault - The Pacific and Australian plates slide past one another along the west coast of the South Island, Puyseger Subduction Zone - The Australian plate subducts underneath the Pacific plate off the coast of the South Island,
