Boundaries where new oceanic crust is formed
Number of reversals of the earth's magnetic field if Plate A has two plusses and two minuses
Formed when solar energy does not reach the poles due to the tilt of the earth
How the sun's energy reaches the earth
Stream A has a steeper slope that Stream B, but Stream B travels faster because it has a greater ____ of water. (How is liquid measured?)
Theory that continents have slowly moved to current locations
Atmospheric conditions over a long period of time
What happens to earth's temperatures when clouds absorb the sun's energy
What happens when oceanic crust collides with continental crust and slides beneath it because it is denser

Type of boundary San Andreas Fault exemplifies
How heat is distributed in the earth's interior
Age of seafloor at greatest depth
