Type of Plate Boundary: Convergent Boundary

Real-World Example: Mount St. Helens in the United States.

Explanation of Formation:

At convergent boundaries, one tectonic plate is forced under another in a process called subduction.
As the subducting plate sinks into the mantle, it heats up and melts, creating magma.
This magma rises to the surface and erupts as a volcano, forming features like Mount St. Helens.

Fold mountains (Adrian and Darryl)

It is a convergent boundary
The Himalayas is a fold mountain
for convergent boundaries, the plates move into each other, and eventually collide and pushes itself up, creating mountains like the Himalayas

Oceanic trenches (xinyi and lovelyn)

Type of plate boundary for oceanic trenches: convergent plate boundaries (plates pushing together forming mountains and trenches, causing earthquakes)
A real world example: Marina trench (Pacific Ocean), the deepest oceanic trenches on earth, approximately 2550km long and 69km wide, located east of the Mariana islands
Short description: the trench was formed by the pacific plate subduction beneath the Philippine plate, creating the deepest point known as Challenger Deep

Dania and Chan 🎀 (Rift Valleys)

Divergent plate boundary
The great rift valley in Central Africa
Two continental plates move apart, rocks will fracture to form parallel faults. The rocks between these faults will collapse to form the rift valley with steep sides.

Oceanic trenches

Type of plate boundary:Convergent plate boundary

A real world example of this landform:The Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean

A short description to explain how this land form is formed: Oceanic trenches are formed when a dense oceanic plate is forced under a less dense plate in a process called subduction. As the plate sinks into the mantle, it bends and creates a long, narrow depression in the ocean floor, resulting in the deepest parts of the ocean.

Fold mountains (Nabilah & Claire)

1. The plate boundary for fold mountains are convergent boundaries.

The folding mountains in Andes.

Fold mountains are created when the plates are pushed together which cause the mountains to be formed. That happens during convergent boundaries.

Eyjafjallajökull

When two plate split apart it creates a crack which lets hot magma from the mantle to rise through the cracks and fills the whole 🫨🫨
