Types of plate boundaries

Types of Plate Boundaries

 Scientists identify the boundaries between two plates by the plate movement.  There are three types of plate boundaries: 1. Divergent 2. Convergent.

1. North American Plate- home to Canada, the US and Mexico 2. Pacific Plate – Mostly crust under the ocean west of the US 3. South American Plate- Home.

Imagine the Earth as a hardboiled egg……………………. The thin brittle shell is the crust that humans live on. The thick jelly like white is the deep hot magma.

Tectonic Plates By :Collin, Justin, Korbin, Mitchel.

Divergent Boundaries Plates move away from each other Marine –Ocean basins open & seafloor created Continental –Rift zones & new ocean basins created.

How are oceans formed? Continents and ocean basins exist on lithospheric plates that move relative to each Other. Between their margins, new land is always.

Itinerary Day 1- Take a plane to Australia. Take a bus to the nearest hotel and stay for the night. Day 2- Rent a car and go see the mountains of Australia. Go back to the hotel and pack. Day 3- Take a plane to Krafla, Iceland. Take a submarine tour and see the Mid-Atlantic ridge. Day 4- take a plane to Africa. Visit Mount Kilimanjaro/ Mount Kenya. Day 5- Pack and fly to Europe. When you arrive, take a hike to the Azores Plateau. Then camp for the night. Day 6-In the morning, pack your sleeping bag, and head to South America. When you get there, take a boat out to the ocean, and go scuba diving to see the under water geysers. Day 7- Pack your bags because your coming home!!!!

AFRICAN PLATE Rate of movement: 2.15 cm per year, it moves west Africa has convergent and divergent plate boundaries. Some examples are: Mount Kenya, and Mount Kilimanjaro. These mountains are do to convergent boundaries.

North American Plate Rate of movement: 1 North American Plate Rate of movement: 1.15 cm per year, moving westward The North American plate includes part of Siberia. The north American plate is 2/3 land mass covering both the United States and Canada.

Eurasian Plate Rate of movement: 0.95 cm per year, moving east This plate plus two others meet at the Azores plateau. This plate includes oceanic crust extending westward the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

South American Plate Rate of movement: 1.45 cm per year, going west The east side of this plate is a divergent boundary with the African plate forming the southern part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This plate is moving away from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Pacific Plate Rate of movement:8.10 cm. per year, it moves Northwest The Northeastern side is a divergent boundary. This plate is the largest plate out of all. Its shrinking because of its margins. In the Southwest, the pacific plate has a complex convergent boundary.

Indo-Australian Plate Rate of movement: Average of 7 cm per year, moving Northeast This plate collides with the Western edge of the Philippine Plate. This collision pushes up the ocean floor, above sea level, creating island chains, island arcs, and a twisted tumultuous sea floor.

Antarctic Plate Rate of movement: 1 cm per year, towards the Atlantic Ocean. The Antarctic plate has a boundary with the pacific plate, which is a divergent boundary forming the Pacific- Antarctic plate.
