Iceland is an example of a country undergoing a continental divergent boundary. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge divides Iceland and is the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.]]> 2016-11-28 08:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140106820 ipearson5119 https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140107160 Examples of transform boundaries include the Alpine Fault of New Zealand, the San Andreas Fault and the Alpine FaultTransform faults are locations of recurring earthquake activity and faulting.]]> 2016-11-28 09:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140107160 ipearson5119 https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140108013 A convergent boundary is an actively deforming region where two or more tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide. The Washington-Oregon coastline of the United States is an example of this type of convergent plate boundary. Here the Juan de Fuca oceanic plate is subducting beneath the westward moving North American continental plate.]]> 2016-11-28 09:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140108013 ipearson5119 https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140222328 The features of a subduction zone where an oceanic plate subducts beneath another oceanic plate are the same as a continent-ocean subduction zone. ]]> 2016-11-28 15:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140222328 ipearson5119 https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140223401 When oceanic crust converges with continental crust, the denser oceanic plate plunges beneath the continental plate. This process, called subduction, occurs at the oceanic trenches.]]> 2016-11-28 16:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140223401 ipearson5119 https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140224305 Continent-continent convergence creates some of the world’s largest mountains ranges. Magma cannot penetrate this thick crust, so there are no volcanoes, although the magma stays in the crust. ]]> 2016-11-28 16:03:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140224305 ipearson5119 https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140226210 - Sea Floor Magnetism: Stripes of magnetic material in the seafloor provide strong evidence for tectonic theory.

-Fossil Evidence: The continents have moved a great deal in the history of the planet, but they carry records of where they’ve been. Some of this evidence is the fossils of animals and plants. Tropical species found in the Antarctic and similar fossils found in western Africa and eastern South America tell a story of where those land masses used to be. 

- Direct Measurement: Modern technology gives us a range of ways to directly measure the movement of tectonic plates. These methods are based around the idea of measuring distance between two points on Earth by using some intermediary transmitter in space.]]> 2016-11-28 16:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140226210 ipearson5119 https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140228650 2016-11-28 16:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ipearson5119/earthsciencepadletvibes/wish/140228650
