1 Dynamic Planet I-4 Further Review

2 What are the three types of plate movements?
What are the resulting boundaries? Give an example of a location where this happens.

3 Plate movement Resulting Boundary Example Moving away from one another Divergent Plate Boundary Mid-ocean ridge Iceland Towards one another Convergent Plate Boundary Himilayas/Tibetan Plateau Nazca plate/South American Plate Japan/Pacific Plate Side to Side Transform Boundary San Andreas Fault, California

4 What are the two types of lithospheric plates?

5 Oceanic Continental Thinner More dense Newer Thicker Less dense than the mantle Older

6 What is the difference between a subduction zone and continent-continent collision zone?

7 Subduction zone Continent-continent colli sion zone Between a continental plate & oceanic plate or oceanic & oceanic plate Oceanic plate goes under Between two continental plates One continent goes under another, however friction will stop it from being consumed (also less dense than the mantle) Crust is thickest

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