1 Tectonic Plate Boundaries

2 Tectonic Plate Boundaries Cut along dashed lines to create 4 flaps
Foldable Front Cover Fold Paper in Half Hamburger Style Tectonic Plate Boundaries Cut along dashed lines to create 4 flaps

3 Tectonic Plate Boundaries
Foldable Transform Turn your foldable sideways and label the sections Divergent Tectonic Plate Boundaries Convergent: Subduction Convergent: Buckling

4 Back NAME DATE PERIOD

5 Transform Boundary Typical geologic activity = earthquake
Transform Boundary: plates scrape across each other in opposite directions Typical geologic activity = earthquake Example: San Andreas Fault in California

6

7 Divergent Boundary Divergent Boundary: plates move apart Typical geologic activity = mid-ocean ridges, rift valleys, and volcanoes Examples: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Great Rift Valley

8

9 Convergent Boundary: Subduction
Convergent Boundary (subduction): Plates push together and one goes underneath the other Typical geologic activity = trenches, earthquakes, and volcanoes Example: Marianas Trench

10 Mariana Trench

11 Convergent Boundary: Buckling
Convergent Boundary (buckling): plates push together and both plates push up Type of geologic activity: mountains Example: the Himalayas
