Studentka2010 [4]

Explanation:

Column 1                            Column 2

Volcano                           Develops when one plate  slides under another

Subduction zone             Where oceanic crust  collides with continental  crust  

Continental drift              Moving plates

Magma                             Made from melting plates

A volcano is a igneous feature that forms on the surface when lava cools and solidifies. When a plate slides under another, the molten magma formed by the melting of plates reaches the surface to form volcanic structures.

Where oceanic crust collides with continental crust, a subduction zone is formed. The denser oceanic crust slides beneath the less dense continental crust.

Drifting continents are as a result of moving plate.
