Boundaries

Question 1

Destructive (Convergent)

Answer 1

Move towards eachother

Create explosive composite volcanoes due to high subduction of one plate

May cause deep earthquakes that cause tsunamis e.g. 2004 Asian Tsunami

CONTINENTALS: Severe shallow earthquakes, no volcanoes, form high fold mountains instead e.g. Himilayas

OCEANICS: Shallow- deep earthquakes, may cause tsunamis e.g. Asian 2004 tsunami. May create Island arcs, deep ocean trench, underwater volcanoes

O+C: Explosive comp volcanoes as high subduction, magma easily push through faults, deep earthquakes in Benioff, may also create fold mountains + deep ocean trenches

Question 2

Constructive (Divergent)

Answer 2

Create submarine volcanoes that rise to form islands e.g. Iceland

Create mid ocean ridges

Shield volcanoes, less explosive

Question 3

Conservative

Answer 3

No volcanic activity as plates slide along so no subduction

Intense, shallow earthquakes as plates build pressure that is suddenly released- strong L waves

Create transform fault where more pressure can build
