6

Describe how a 'Strike-Slip Fault' is different from a 'Transform Fault'.

2

What is the name of the process of one tectonic plate going under another?

6

Oceanic Crust and Continental Crust converge.

Which goes under, and why?

2

Why does the top of the continental crust deform and fracture in a subduction zone?

2

The crust melting from the subducting plate causes magma to 'float up' to the surface and create volcanoes.

4

What is the driving force behind the movement of the tectonic plates?

4

When oceanic and oceanic plates converge, the __________ plate tends to subduct because it is often the one with the __________ density.
