Question
Opening and closing phases summarize the movement of these objects in the Wilson cycle. RRF junctions among these objects are unstable and evolve into FFR junctions, another of the ten types of triple junctions that exist at boundaries of these objects. Planes called Wadati–Benioff zones can form where these objects meet. (*) Slab suction and slab pull are the dominant forces on these objects. These objects slide past each other at transform boundaries and move apart at divergent boundaries, which can result in new crust being formed to fill the gap left by seafloor spreading. For 10 points, name these large pieces of the Earth’s lithosphere, the central objects of a namesake theory of continental drift. ■END■
ANSWER: tectonic plates [accept plate tectonics; prompt on plates; prompt on ocean basins or oceanic basins with “Oceanic basins form from the movement of what objects?”; prompt on supercontinents]
