Nazca, Cocos, and Pacific (triple junction)

Question 10

When two plates move toward each other.

Answer 10

Convergent Boundaries

Question 11

Where crust is Destroyed as one plate dives under another.

Answer 11

Convergent Boundaries

Question 12

Called as Destructive plate margins or subduction

Answer 12

Convergent Boundaries

Question 13

When one tectonic plate slides beneath another.

Answer 13

Subduction

Question 14

3 Types of Convergent Boundaries

Answer 14

Oceanic-Continental, Oceanic-Oceanic, and Continental-Continental

Question 15

Formation Convergent Boundaries

Answer 15

Volcanic Island, Deep sea Trenches, Volcanic Mountains

Question 16

Example of Oceanic-Continental

Answer 16

Juan de Fuca and North American Plate (Cascade Range)
Philippine and Eurasian Plate (Japan Alps)

Question 17

explain Oceanic-Continental

Answer 17

Oceanic always subduct under continental.
Oceanic is denser so the oceanic will dive .
Oceanic colliding continental crust .

Question 18

explain Oceanic-Oceanic

Answer 18

When two oceanic plates collide Older crust will dive into younger oceanic.

Question 19

Formation Oceanic-Oceanic

Answer 19

Trench, Island Arc, and Chain of Volcanic Island

Question 20

Example of Oceanic-Oceanic

Answer 20

Eurasian and Philippine will form Philippine trench

Question 21

explain Continental-Continental

Answer 21

When two continents meet head on No subduction because both of them are less dense repetition
It forms mountains

Question 22

Example Continental-Continental

Answer 22

Eurasian Plate and Indian Plate (Himalayas)

Question 23

Sliding along with each other

Answer 23

Transform Fault

Question 24

Called conservative plate

Answer 24

Transform Fault

Question 25

When they occur on the seafloor, they form

Answer 25

Oceanic Fracture zones

Question 26

Formation Transform Fault

Answer 26

Major Earthquakes
