1. Plate Boundaries Notes

2. 3 Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent Convergent Transform

3. DIVERGENT BOUNDARY = WHEN TWO PLATES ARE MOVING AWAY FROM EACH OTHER MAGMA RISES AND SPILLS OUT FROM UNDER THE PLATES, MAKING NEW CRUST Ex.) rift valley OR trench

6. CONVERGENT BOUNDARY = when one plate is pushed under (subducts) another plate. The plate that is pushed under is then recycled back into the asthenosphere. This is when the plates converge

7. 3 Types of Boundaries Convergent= when two tectonic plates push into one another.

8. Continental vs. Continental When two continental crustal plates collide, the continents buckle upward and form mountains. Himalayas- Asia

9. Continental vs. Oceanic The oceanic plate slides under the continental plate. The continental crust crumbles and forms new mountains or volcanoes. Subduction Zone

10. Oceanic vs. Oceanic Two oceanic plates collide, one of the oceanic plates slides under the other. oceanic plates slides also called a subduction zone subduction zone

11. Transform boundary When two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally Produces? Earthquakes
