Plate Boundaries

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

What are Plate Boundaries?
The areas that separate the plates

What are the 3 major types of plate boundaries?
Convergent, Divergent, Transform

Divergent Plate boundaries

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

What happens at a divergent plate boundary?
The plate moves away from the other plate
<---- ---->

What is it? Mid Ocean Ridge

What is it? Rift Valley

Convergent Plate Boundaries

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

What happens at a convergent plate boundary?
Plates move into eachother
List the 3 types of plate boundaries
1. Oceanic-Oceanic

2. Continental-Oceanic

3. Continental-Continental

Continental - Oceanic: Where an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide

Which plate suducts under the other?
Oceanic under Continental

What happens to the plate that subducts into the mantel and how does this process create a volcano?
Becomes magma, magma rises into pockets which make volcanoes

Determine which letter is labeling the following geographical features

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

Mountain: Letter C
Volcano: Letter B
subduction zone: Letter A

Oceanic -Oceanic: Where an Oceanic and Oceanic plate collide

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

Which plate subducts under the other?
Older under Younger

What happens to the plate that subducts into the mantel and how does this process create Deep sea trenches and island arcs?
Becomes magma, magma splits the land and makes new rock, making trenches, and undersea volcanoes create islands by the rising magma

What is a Real World example of Geographical formations that are created by Converging Continental - Oceanic plates?

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

Wyoming, Mountains, Volcanoes

Determine which letter is labeling the following geographical features

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

Deep Sea trench: Letter B
Island Arc: Letter A

What is a Real World example of Geographical formations that are created by Converging Oceanic - Oceanic plates?

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

Mariana Trench

Continental - Continental: where 2 continental plates collide

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

Do any plates subduct?
Yes, not much though

What geographical formations are created at these boundaries?

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

Mountains

What is a real world example of a geographical feature created by a continental - continental convergent plate boundary?

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

Everest, Pyrenees, Himalayas

Transform Plate boundary

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

What happens at a transform boundary?
Two plates slide against one another

What is a geographic feature found at a transform boundary?

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

Fault Lines, Earthquakes

What is a Real World example of the geographical formations that form at transform plate boundaries?

kiebra341 — 2019-05-02 17:07:10 UTC

San Andreas Fault, Earthquakes
