-Mid-ocean ridge -- spreading center 
Subduction zones -- oceanic trench site of crust destruction

superposition - The principle that any given rock layer is probably older than those above it and 
younger than those below it 
continental crust - Extends from surface of Earth down to 20-30 miles. Continental crust (granite) 
is less dense then ocean crust (basalt). 
oceanic crust - Extends down from the surface of the Earth to 7 miles. Crust is layered and very 
uniform. Composed of basalt.
