Question 1

1.

Transform Boundary

A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions

The process by which oceanic crust sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle at a convergent plate boundary

Experiment that modeled Earth's primordial atmosphere in the lab and produced amino acids

Provides evidence of seafloor spreading when they show the reversal of magnetic fields

Process that creates new sea floor as plates move away from each other at the mid-ocean ridge
