Plate Boundaries Flashcards
1

Where plates pull apart. Lava pours out and creates a new crust.
2
Q
Destructive-oceanic/continental Plate Boundary
A
When a weaker plate slides under another, forcing up magma - through volcanoes.
3
Q
Destructive Collision Plate Boundary
A
There are no volcanoes and the land is pushed up - hence a fold mountain.
4

Conservative Plate Boundary
A
Two places slide and pressure build up, causes mass destruction.
