Process And Lanfroms At Tectonic Plate Boundaries Flashcards
Constructive = OC-OC plates
North American plate and Eurasian plate
Constructive OC-OC landforms + processes (4)
Mid oceanic ridge
Volcanic islands
Volcanic eruptions = shield volcanoes and basaltic lava
Earthquakes =
Constructive CC-CC plates
Nubian plate and Somalian plate (in Africa)
Constructive = CC-CC landforms and processes (4)
Rift Valley = East African Rift Valley
Volcanic activity = shield volcanoes + basaltic lava
Earthquakes = yes
Destructive = OC-OC plates
Philippine plate and pacific plate
Destructive = OC-OC landforms and processes (3+)
Oceanic trenches = Marianas trench
Volcanic activity = composite cone volcanoes + acidic lava
Earthquakes = shallow to deep focus
Destructive = CC-CC plates
Indian plate and Eurasian plate
Destructive = CC-CC landforms and processes (3+)
Young fold mountains = Himalayas
Volcanic activity = no
Earthquakes = yes

Nazca plate and South American plate
Destructive = OC-CC landforms and processes (4)
Oceanic trench = Peru Chile trench
Young fold mountains = Andes mountains
Volcanic activity = composite cone volcanoes + acidic lava
