Divergent boundaries-where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.
Convergent boundaries -where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
Transform boundaries - where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
Plate boundary zones - broad belts in which boundaries are not well defined and the effects of plate interaction are unclear.]]> 2016-12-20 13:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/144449582 zoe_krugh https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/144449686 A divergent boundary is when to plates are moving away from each other. The mid-Atlantic ridge is a example of this. This divergent boundary formed a underwater mountain range that is forever growing as a new crust is formed. mid-oceanic mountains/ridges are formed from Divergent Boundaries. Divergent boundaries also form volcanic islands which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps which molten lava rises to fill.]]> 2016-12-20 13:09:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/144449686 nina_diloretotarot https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/144449926 plate boundaries mark the area where a lot of earth quakes and volcano's can form. Usually there are many on the boundaries. There is a place called Ring of Fire, it is on the U.S. coast and goes into the ocean. This Ring of Fire contains the most earthquakes and Volcano's in the world, it has so many they gave it a name. It is also very dangerous in the area. So basically where ever you see mountains like the Rocky Mountain or the App. Mountain or the Nevada Mountain They all formed because of plate collision, wherever you see mountain's and volcano's or a record of earthquake's they are on a boundary line.]]> 2016-12-20 13:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/144449926 zoe_krugh https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/144450160 Convergent Boundaries are when two or more tectonic plates are moving toward each other.The Washington-Oregon coastline of the United States is an example of this. Convergent boundaries form strong earthquakes, as well as volcanic mountains or islands, when the sinking oceanic plate melts.]]> 2016-12-20 13:12:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/144450160 saher_ahmad https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/144450208 There are fragments that make up the world. Tectonic plates are when plates move and (could have) caused continental drift. ]]> 2016-12-20 13:12:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/144450208 zoe_krugh https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/144450530 Transform Boundaries are when no crust is destroyed or created but the plates are just sliding against each other.An example of transform boundaries is the Alpine Fault of New Zealand.

They tend to have complicated geological structures and earthquake patterns. ]]> 2016-12-20 16:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/144486085 nina_diloretotarot https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/145232981 Mountains Form when the tectonic plates collide and one piece of the land goes under and the other plate starts going over the other plate, Mountain or volcano's form when this happens]]> 2017-01-04 12:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/145232981 zoe_krugh https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/145233020 This picture shows the location of earthquakes. As you can see the earthquakes are happening right along the edges of the tectonic plates. Earthquakes are formed but the plates colliding, subduction or transforming. One of the largest eartquake "The Great Chilean Earthquake" was located right along the South American plate]]> 2017-01-04 12:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/145233020 saher_ahmad https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/145233789 Volcanoes are found in the same place as earthquakes, and sometimes they are related but they are still independent events. When a volcano erupts the magma forcing its way through the crust it activates earthquakes. ]]> 2017-01-04 12:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/145233789 nina_diloretotarot https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/145233912 Himalaya Mountains

Basically its mountain ranges under water formed the same way they do on land. When beneath the ocean floor the mantle rises and sinks and creates convection currents and forms the under water mountain.

At many convergent plate boundaries, dense lithosphere melts or slides beneath less-dense lithosphere in a process called subduction, creating a trench. An example would be the Mariana Trench which is the largest trench in the world it is in the western pacific ocean.]]> 2017-01-04 12:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/145235307 saher_ahmad https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/145235505 A rift valley is where plate tectonics move apart or rift. They are created by the movement of tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are constantly moving shifting against each other in zones. It is "huge rocky slabs of Earth's lithosphere-- it's crust and upper mantle. A real life example is "The Great Rift Valley." ]]> 2017-01-04 12:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nina_diloretotarot/xt91uvmax3bx/wish/145235505
