transform African outer core boundaries mantle tectonic plates CLOZE 2 The plates are able to shift and flex because they float on a soft, flexible layer called the ___________________________. This scientific theory is called ____________________________ and describes the motion and change of Earths surface. The movements of the plates result in significant interactions between plates where they come together at their ___________________. Motion of the plates at the boundaries is classified as _______________ where the plates push together, __________________ where the plates pull apart, and ______________________ where the plates move laterally, sliding past each other.

These events include ________________________ eruptions, ______________________________, __________________________, and the formation of new crustal material. These changes, caused by the movement of the ___________________________________, have shaped Earths landscape and will continue to do so in the future. Word Bank
