Subduction Diagram
Where an oceanic and
continental plate converge.
|
|
Read the definitions below, then label the
subduction (plate convergence) diagram.

Asthenosphere = Upper Mantle (flowing) - the lower
part of the upper mantle that exhibits plastic (flowing)
properties. It is located below the lithosphere (the crust and
upper mantle).
Continental Crust - thick parts
of the Earth's crust, not located under the oceans.
Lithosphere - the crust plus the
rigid, upper mantle.
Lower Mantle (semi-rigid) - the
deepest parts of the mantle, just above the core.
Magma - molten rock withing the
Earth's mantle. In seafloor spreading, magma moves from the
asthenosphere to the crust.
Ocean - large bodies of water
sitting atop oceanic crust.
Oceanic Crust - thin parts of
the Earth's crust located under the oceans.
Subduction Zone - the area in
which one part of the Earth's crust (a plate) is pushed
underneath another plate as the two plates collide.
Upper Mantle (rigid) - the
uppermost part of the mantle, part of the lithosphere.
Volcanos - a place on the
Earth's surface where molten rock, gases and pyroclastic
debris erupt through the earth's crust.
