Plate Boundaries & Convection Currents by Melanie Lemus-Barralaga https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2 en-us 2021-03-19 22:20:30 UTC 2025-10-24 13:41:05 UTC hello@padlet.com What are plate boundaries? 16717721 https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331630449 Plate boundaries are the edges where two plates meet. They are also where volcanoes, earthquakes and most geologic activities take place. They are three types of plate boundaries convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, and transform boundaries. ]]> 2021-03-19 22:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331630449 Convergent plate boundary 16717721 https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331654140 Convergent plate is different from others because they collide and one bends down and other one goes on top of it. ]]> 2021-03-19 22:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331654140 Divergent plate boundary 16717721 https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331658190 Divergent plate is different from the other because they separate from eachother.]]> 2021-03-19 22:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331658190 Transform plate boundary 16717721 https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331670347 Transform plate is different from the others two because they slide past eachother. ]]> 2021-03-19 22:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331670347 Plate Boundaries 16717721 https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331676567 A fracture that separates one plate from another; those are energetic areas among the tectonic plates in which maximum of the seismic and volcanic movement occur]]> 2021-03-19 23:01:29 UTC https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331676567 1. why do plate boundaries occur where they do with convection current include? 16717721 https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331690796 Heat growing and falling in the mantle creates convection currents made by radioactive break down in the core. The convection currents transports the plates.
2. Types and features of each boundary?
Types: convergent, transform, and divergent.
Features: Volcanoes are one type of characteristic that shape alongside convergent plate boundaries, where  tectonic plates collide and one movements underneath the other.
 Divergent plate boundaries are characterized by shallow earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, a high topographic ridge, and very young lithosphere.
A Transform boundary constantly has faults and are found on the sea floor, where they connect segments of  diverging mid ocean ridges.

difference: one shape of convergent boundary creates mountain ranges while 2 continental plates circulate together. Also forms mountains and volcanoes while a continental plate collides with a denser oceanic plate. Lastly it forms a deep ocean trench and creates an arc of volcanic islands while  oceanic plates collide]]> 2021-03-19 23:49:27 UTC https://padlet.com/16717721/hmg9qj8n8v07o0r2/wish/1331731954
