Plate Boundaries Flashcards
Edges where two plates meet
Plate boundaries
This is where volcanoes, mountaind and earthquakes happen.
Plate boundaries
two plates move away from each other
Divergent plate boundary
two plates move towards eachother
Convergent plate boundary
2 plates slip past each other
Transform plate boundary
Convergent plate boundary creates ________.
volcano and mountain
Divergent plate boundary forms _______.
Oceanic ridges, trenches, ridges and valleys
This type of convergence happens when the oceanic plate subducts underneath the continental plate.
oceanic-continental
volcanoes found in line above the subducting plates
continental ark
type of convergence where 2 continental plates collide, forming a mountain
continental-continental
two oceanic playes collides and both subducts to from trenches
oceanic-oceanic
volcanoes that forms above an oceanic plate
island ark
fracture zone that forms a transform fault boundary
transform fault
locations of where two plate slides past each other
Transform fault boundary
Hanging wall drops
normal fault
