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