8. Two Oceanic Plates Diverging
Causes Sea-Floor Spreading
As plates made of oceanic crust pull apart, a crack in the ocean floor appears.
Magma then oozes up from the mantle to fill in the space between the plates, forming a raised ridge called a mid-ocean ridge (underwater mountain range)

9. Age of Rocks
As the plates spread and magma hardens to form rocks—we get the newest rocks on Earth near diverging plates.

10. Two Continental Plates Diverging
Creates a Rift Valley or Ocean Basin
As the continental plates diverge, they sink and can fill with water making a sea!
--the Great Rift Valley, East Africa
--the Red Sea

11. Ireland: Hikers walk in the shadow of cliffs
Ireland: Hikers walk in the shadow of cliffs. The divergent Mid-Atlantic Ridge rises above sea level, with the North American plate to the west and the Eurasian plate to the east.

12. Divergent Plates- Plates move apart
Oceanic
Continental
What happens
Sea-floor spreading happens and magma comes up and cools – forms new rock
Plates spread and then sink to form a basin (bowl shape) or rift valley
What forms
Mid-ocean ridges Example: the Mid-Atlantic ridge
Seas
Example: the Red Sea

16. Convergent Boundaries
There are two things that can happen when two plates move towards one another
1. One sinks under the other and starts to melt
2. They both collide and start to crumble and pile up.

17. Types of Convergent Boundaries
Oceanic - Oceanic
Oceanic - Continental
Continental - Continental
The only difference between the two type of plates is the rock composition and the density.

18. Oceanic – Oceanic (subduction)
Same density;
Oldest plate will go under (subduction) younger plate
Trenches (deep cavern) & Volcanoes
Mariana Trench
DRAW IT OUT!

19. Oceanic – Continental (subduction)
Oceanic plates is more dense than continental plate
Ocean lithospheric plate will always sink under (subduction) continental plates because it is more dense!
Volcanoes
Ring of Fire in Pacific
Ocean

20. Continental-Continental (collision)
Plates have the same density
Plates collide and crash into each other– lithosphere folds like wrinkles
Mountains
Himalayan Mountains

21. Convergent Plates

22. Types of Convergent Boundaries
Oceanic-Oceanic
Oceanic-Continental
Continental-Continental
Relative Density
Both have same density, but one is older
Oceanic is more dense than continental
Both have same density
What happens
Older plate goes under the other (subduction)
Ocean plate goes under the continental plate (subduction)
They hit each other and squish upwards

23. Where are we going?
We appear to be headed for another super continent as North America, South America, Asia and Australia converge in the ever shrinking Pacific Ocean

24. Ring of Fire= Subduction Zones

28. Transform boundaries Two plates slide past each other

29. Earthquakes
Occur at transform boundaries because great tension can build in the plates
Eventually the plates snap and release all of the stored tension and shake the earth

30. Faults Cracks in the earth crust that occur when plates snap
Example: San Andreas Fault (California)

31. Focus
The point deep underground in which the fault fails

32. Epicenter
Spot on earth’s surface directly above the focus

33. Primary (P) Waves
Quickest wave and detected first; travel through solids, liquids, and gases

34. Secondary (S) Waves
Second fastest waves; only travels through solids

35. Surface Waves
Slowest and most damaging waves

36. Tsunami “Harbor Wave” in Japanese
Giant waves caused by earthquakes occurring on the ocean floor
Japanese Tsunami
Mega tsunami
