An oceanic plate can collide with a continental plate. The denser oceanic plate sinks beneath the less dense continental plate. The process of one plate sinking below another is called subduction. One place subduction is occuring is where the Juan de Fuca and North American plates meet. ]]> 2019-03-27 12:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345655582 leilah_ferrari https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345658337 When two tectonic plates move away from one another, or diverge. ]]> 2019-03-27 12:30:58 UTC https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345658337 leilah_ferrari https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345658760 2019-03-27 12:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345658760 leilah_ferrari https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345659137 2019-03-27 12:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345659137 leilah_ferrari https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345660479 Tension occurs as the plates move apart, and the lithosphere thins. Thinning allows the asthenosphere to rise towards Earth's surface and melt. The melting produces magma, which moves to Earth's surface, where it cools and solidifies. A divergent boundary exists between the North American and Eurasian plates. These plates are moving apart under the ocean. Most divergent boundaries are under the ocean]]> 2019-03-27 12:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345660479 leilah_ferrari https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345663697 Two tectonic plates can move past one another in opposite directions and form a transform boundary.]]> 2019-03-27 12:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345663697 leilah_ferrari https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345664663 2019-03-27 12:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345664663 leilah_ferrari https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345665400 2019-03-27 12:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345665400 leilah_ferrari https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345668765 Movement is mostly horizontal. Shear stress commonly occurs at transform boundaries. The plates don't move smoothly. Instead, they slowly scrape against one another, causing energy to build, Then, they shift suddenly, releasing energy. The San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary. It's located between the North American plate and Pacific plate. However, most transform boundaries are found on the ocean floor. ]]> 2019-03-27 12:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/leilah_ferrari/p15g7lypltms/wish/345668765
