Geography Flashcards
BOUNDARIES
Constructive/divergent
Is when the tectonic plate move away from each other causing a layer of magma to rise and eventually separate this leads to volcanic eruption ands mostly weak earthquakes
Destructive/convergent oceanic and continental
Is when the oceanic plates get stuck under the continental plate the pressure eventually builds up causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
Destructive/convergent with two continental plates
Is when the two continental plates collide into one another creating what we know as folded mountains
conservative/transform
Is when the tectonic plates slide past one another either in the same direction or opposite getting stuck in the edges creating pressure that will eventually lead to earthquake but no volcanic eruptions
