 * 1.5 The Theory of Plate Tectonics**


 * Vocabulary**


 * Plates**:Separate sections broken by the lithosphere
 * Scientific Theory:** A well tasted concept that explains a wide range of observation
 * Plate Tectonics:** A geological theory that states that pieces of earth's lithosphere are in constant, show motion,driven by the convection currents in the mantle
 * Faults:** breaks in earth's crust where rocks have slipped past each other
 * Transform boundary:** a place where two plates slip past each other, moving in opposite direction
 * Divergent Boundary:** When two plates split or diverge
 * Rift Valley:** forms along the divergent boundary
 * Convergent Boundary:** the place where two plates come together, or converge
