The video below shows an example of a convergent boundary with subduction.]]> 2018-03-17 20:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243119144 chloegkornau https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243119534 Subduction is the process of one plate sinking below another. An example is when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. The denser plate sinks beneath the less dense continental plate; which is subduction.]]> 2018-03-17 20:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243119534 chloegkornau https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243119806 When two continental plates meet together the plates push up against each other ; the resulting compression causes rocks to buckle. This kind of boundary occurs when the Indian plate meets the Eurasian plate.]]> 2018-03-17 21:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243119806 chloegkornau https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243120144 A divergent boundary is when two tectonic plates move away from one another, or even diverge. The video below shows an example of how divergent boundaries diverge over the years.]]> 2018-03-17 21:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243120144 chloegkornau https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243120414 The tension occurs at the divergent boundaries the lithosphere begins to thin. Thinning allows the asthenosphere to rise toward Earth's surface and melt.  The melting produces magma that rises to the surface and cools. This process forms new lithosphere at the divergent boundaries. However, the old lithosphere does not become bigger; it is destroyed in subduction zones]]> 2018-03-17 21:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243120414 chloegkornau https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243120992 2018-03-17 21:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243120992 chloegkornau https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243121206 A transform boundary is when two tectonic plates can move past on other in opposite directions. The video below shows an example of transform boundaries at work.]]> 2018-03-17 21:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243121206 chloegkornau https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243121344 Shear stress commonly occurs at transform boundaries. Shear stress is a force that causes layers or parts to slide upon each other  in opposite directions.]]> 2018-03-17 21:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243121344 chloegkornau https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243121798 The San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary. It is located between the North American plate and Pacific plates. However, transform boundaries are not found on the ocean floor.]]> 2018-03-17 21:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243121798 chloegkornau https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243121978 2018-03-17 21:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243121978 chloegkornau https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243122013 2018-03-17 21:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/chloegkornau/scq5k2yu7xz1/wish/243122013
