A convergent boundary also occurs where two continental plates meet. The plates push up against each other. The resulting compression causes rock to buckle. A convergent also occurs where two oceanic plates meet. Subdivision can also occurs at this type of boundary. ]]> 2018-03-09 14:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/240174004 Divergent Boundaries taylor_whitton https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/240178902 Wehn two tectonic plates move away from one another, or diverge, a divergent boundary forms. Tension occurs as the plates move apart, and the lithosphere thins. A divergent boundary exist between the North American and Eurasian plates. These plates are moving apart under the ocean. In fact, most divergent boundaries are under the ocean. ]]> 2018-03-09 14:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/240178902 Transform Boundaries taylor_whitton https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/240181016 Two tectonic plates can move past one other in opposite directions and form a transform boundary. Movement is mostly horizontal. Most transform boundaries are found on the ocean floor.]]> 2018-03-09 14:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/240181016 Transform Plate Boundary taylor_whitton https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/241378650 Here you will get a better understanding of the Plate Boundaires]]> 2018-03-13 13:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/241378650 Divergent Plate Boundary taylor_whitton https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/241656251 Here you will get a better understanding of the Plate Boundaries]]> 2018-03-13 22:51:31 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/241656251 Convergent Boundaries taylor_whitton https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/241657635 Here you will get a better understanding of the Plate Boundaries]]> 2018-03-13 22:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/241657635 Fun Fact! taylor_whitton https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/242339120 One famous transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California. It is the boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. It is the cause of so many earthquakes in California.]]> 2018-03-15 13:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/242339120 Fun Fact!! taylor_whitton https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/242340360 The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean. It is formed by a convergent boundary between the Pacific Plate and the Mariana Plate. The Pacific Plate is being subducted under the Mariana Plate.]]> 2018-03-15 13:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/242340360 Fun Fact!!! taylor_whitton https://padlet.com/taylor_whitton/cua08p40u48c/wish/242340879 The Himalayan Mountains, including Mount Everest, were formed by the convergent boundary of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate.
