These usually form Subduction Zones
2. Occurs when a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate
3. The Pacific Ring of Fire is lots of subduction zones that formed volcanoes]]> 2018-03-08 13:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alexa_warm/zsbluzg4gx35/wish/239624210 Facts about Transform Boundaries alexa_warm https://padlet.com/alexa_warm/zsbluzg4gx35/wish/240107837 1. Friction in these plates causes them to strain against each other and fracture
2. Also associated with frequent earthquakes on land
3. Most transform faults occur in the ocean, but there are some on land]]> 2018-03-09 12:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/alexa_warm/zsbluzg4gx35/wish/240107837 Facts about Divergent Boundaries alexa_warm https://padlet.com/alexa_warm/zsbluzg4gx35/wish/240107919 1. Also called Seafloor Spreading
2. Earthquakes are very frequent along these rifts
3. When the plates separate, molten magma pushes up from the mantle]]> 2018-03-09 12:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/alexa_warm/zsbluzg4gx35/wish/240107919 The Pacific Ring of Fire alexa_warm https://padlet.com/alexa_warm/zsbluzg4gx35/wish/240112814 examples of a convergent boundary]]> 2018-03-09 12:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alexa_warm/zsbluzg4gx35/wish/240112814
