PLATE TECTONICS
THEROY THAT EARTH'S PLATES ARE DIVIDED
DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY
- An area where new crust is formed as the plates pull apart from each other.
RESULTING LANDFORM FROM DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY(LAND)GIVE AN EXAMPLE
EAST AFRICA RIFT
RESULTING LANDFORM FROM DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY(SEA)GIVE AN EXAMPLE
THE RED SEA
CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY
AN AREA WHERE THE PLATES COME TOGETHER.
RESULTING LANDFORM FROM OCEAN VS CONTINENT GIVE AN EXAMPLE
RESULTING LANDFORM FROM OCEAN VS OCEAN GIVE AN EXAMPLE
TRENCH, RIFT, SEAMOUNT, MID-OCEAN RIDGE
RESULTING LANDFORM FROM CONTINENT VS CONTINENT GIVE AN EXAMPLE
MOUNTAINS, PLATEAUS, VALLEYS
SUBDUCTION ZONE DEFINITION
- The collision between two tectonic plates, one plate sinks under the other.
- An example would be the area around the edge of the pacific ocean.
DEEP OCEAN TRENCH DEFINITION
LONG, NARROW DEPRESSION IN EARTH'S OCEANIC CRUST.
DEEP OCEAN TRENCH GIVE AN EXAMPLE
MARIANAS TRENCH
TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARY
PLACE WHERE THE PLATES SLIDE PAST EACH OTHER.
RESULTING EVENT FROM TRANSFORM BOUNDARY
SAN ANDREAS FAULT
EXAMPLE OF TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARY GIVE AN EXAMPLE
2 PLATES SLIDE PAST EACH OTHER. CRUST IS NEITHER CREATED OR DESTROYED ITS ALSO FAULT.
