An example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Africa Rift Valley.]]> 2018-03-19 20:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243749233 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243749293 In this picture, there are two oceanic plates pulling apart from each other. This, also shown in the picture, results in magma leaking onto the surface, cooling down, and creating new crust. This also creates a mid-ocean ridge.]]> 2018-03-19 20:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243749293 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243749428 This picture is a video describing divergent boundaries.

In this instance, the two plates are first pulled up and then divided. normal faults develop on both sides of the rift and earthquakes are known to take place during this process. Rivers will flow into the plate boundaries and create a long and narrow stream. This rift can eventually go low enough to have ocean water come in. If rifting continues, a new ocean basin could be produced.]]> 2018-03-19 20:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243749584 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243749739 Convergent boundaries are formed when two plates (two oceanic, two continental, or one of each) collide with one another, resulting in one of the plates moving under another (called subduction). An example is the Himalayan Mountain Range in Asia.]]> 2018-03-19 20:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243749739 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243749964 In the picture, there is a convergent boundary between an oceanic and continental plate. The oceanic plate will then subduct under the continental plate since it is more dense. After the oceanic plate goes under the continental plate, it starts to melt in the mantle and causes magma chambers to form. If the magma does not solidify before reaching the surface, a volcano is formed. If it does, a mountain range is formed.]]> 2018-03-19 20:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243749964 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243750364 This picture is a video describing convergent boundaries.

This process goes the same way as with an oceanic and continental convergent boundary would act.

Between Two Oceanic Plates - This process goes the same as the other two. But this time, the clashing of the plates will result in the construction of volcanic or non-volcanic islands.]]> 2018-03-19 20:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243750716 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243751050 Transform Boundaries are two plates slide past each other, creating earthquakes. This is also called a Transform Fault. An example is the San Andreas Fault in the U.S. and Mexico.]]> 2018-03-19 20:22:48 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243751050 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243751291 In this picture, you can see that two plates, sliding past each other, creating a Transform Boundary. These two plates, as they slide past each other will cause earthquakes that are more dangerous the closer you are to the fault itself.]]> 2018-03-19 20:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243751291 Guy_That_Draws_Stuff https://padlet.com/Guy_That_Draws_Stuff/9xzc0vadb1h5/wish/243751560 This picture is a video describing transform boundaries.
