Pre-lecture 2 notes: crustal tectonics a mobile earth . Relatively r igid, nonflowable, outer 100- to 150-km-thick layer of. Lithosphere: the earth; constituting crust & top part of mantle asthenosphere is relatively soft & can flow when acted on by force: asthenosphere: Continental margin that coincides with a: passive continental margin: Continental margin that is not a plate plate boundary boundary. 3 types of plate boundaries: divergent boundary, convergent boundary: A boundary at which 2 lithosphere plates move apart from each other; they are marked by mid-ocean ridges other so that 1 plate subducts beneath the other; only oceanic lithosphere can subduct the side of another plate. A boundary at which 1 lithosphere plate slips along. A boundary at which 2 plates move toward each: transform boundary: as plates move apart, new oceanic lithosphere forms along divergent boundary www. notesolution. com.
