depending on what plate types you have.Crust --> The uppermost part of the lithosphere, cool, dense and what we live on.......
Do in List form, like
asthenosphere: ______
cindercone: ______
etc.

Wow. Instructions and everything.

Aesthenosphere --> The portion of the mantle below the lithosphere

Cinder cone --> The simplest form of volcano, formed when gas-rich magma is erupted from a single vent. The airborne lava hardens and falls around the vent as cinders, forming a cone with a crater-like depression at the top.

Composite volcano --> Formed by multiple layers of lava flows running down its flanks, and generally among the largest volcanoes. Often formed at oceanic-continental subduction boundaries.

Compression wave --> A seismic wave better known as a P-wave in which energy is transmitted along a straight path.

Convergent plate boundary --> Where two plates come together; either subduction or mountain building will occur, depending on what plate types you have.

Crust --> The uppermost part of the lithosphere, cool, dense and what we live on.
