Plate Tectonics Bingo - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. The top layer of the lithosphere.
    Crust
  2. when two tectonic plates are moving toward each other
    Convergent boundary
  3. a divergent plate boundary where oceanic plates move away from each other
    Mid-ocean ridge
  4. A large valley shaped area of the Earth in which plates of the Earth's crust are moving away from each other, forming a system of cracks and faults
    Rift Valley
  5. A deep depression of the sea floor caused by the subduction of one plate under another.
    Trench
  6. Large slabs of rock that move as part of the lithosphere
    tectonic plates
  7. natural vibrations of the ground caused by movement along gigantic fractures in (Earth’s) crust
    Earthquake
  8. New ocean crust is formed at the ridges & destroyed at trenches
    Sea-floor spreading
  9. Pattern of motion produced by convection (warmer matter moves up and cooler matter sinks)
    Convection Currents
  10. The crust and upper most part of the mantle
    Lithosphere
  11. When a divergent boundary occurs on land a separation, will arise and over time, that mass of land will break between them
    Rift
  12. two tectonic plates slide past each other
    Transform boundary
  13. When magma flows onto the Earth's Surface
    Lava
  14. A mixture of molten rock, dissolved gases, and mineral crystals
    Magma
  15. The continents were once joined as a single land mass that drifted apart.
    Continental drift
  16. a convergent boundary where an oceanic plate is pushed beneath a continental plate forming a trench. The oceanic crust melts resulting in the formation of volcanoes.
    Subduction zone
  17. The remains of plants or animals that have turned to stone over millions of years.
    Fossil
  18. the layer of the earth between the crust and the core
    Mantle
  19. A mountain or opening in Earth’s crust from which lava erupts
    Volcano
  20. ancient super-continent containing all of the Earth's connected continents.
    Pangaea
  21. very hot places in the mantle/crust
    Hot spot
  22. Partially molten layer of the mantle
    Asthenosphere
  23. A theory stating that the earth's surface is broken into plates that move
    Plate Tectonics
  24. place where two of Earth's tectonic plates are moving away from each other
    Divergent boundary
