Plate Boundaries Padlet by Megan Hoffman https://padlet.com/meganhoffman3/iti2mp1o9e3kpr2h en-us 2023-03-31 11:57:37 UTC 2023-04-05 21:39:34 UTC hello@padlet.com Divergent meganhoffman3 https://padlet.com/meganhoffman3/iti2mp1o9e3kpr2h/wish/2542107830 Divergent plate boundaries are when plates separate or divide.  When these happen under the ocean, mid ocean ridges are created. When this happens on land, it becomes a rift valley. Subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust. The denser plate is subducted underneath the less dense plate. The plate being forced under is eventually melted and destroyed.

At these boundaries, one plate may be forced beneath the other in a process called subduction. This can lead to the formation of trench systems, volcanic activity, and earthquakes.

One of the most famous transform plate boundaries occurs at the San Andreas fault zone, which extends underwater. Earthquakes are common along these faults. The movement of the plates is horizontal. They can happen underwater or on land, and crust is not destroyed or created.

Because of friction, the plates cannot smoothly move past each other. Instead, stress builds up in both plates and eventually, the energy is released and makes earthquakes.
