Matching
Match the items with the correct descriptions.
Premises:
rising of warm material due to lower density.
boundary where two plates slide past one another.
the condition of the magnetic field where the magnetic force flows out of Earth's south pole and back in at the north pole.
the crust and the stiff upper mantle combined; this is broken into plates.
boundary where two plates move away from one another.
the "weak layer" within the mantle. Motion here is thought to help drive plate tectonics.
