PRESENTATION OUTLINE
PLATE TECTONICS
THE LITHOSPHERE IS BROKEN INTO PIECES THAT ARE SLOWLY MOVING.
SLAB PULL
SLAB PUL IS THE PORTION OF MOTION OF A TECTONIC PLATE THAT CAN BE ACCOUNTED BY SUBDUCTION.

RIDGE PUSH
GRAVITATIONAL FORCE THAT CAUSES A PLATE TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE CREST OF AN OCEAN RIDGE.
DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY
PLACE WHERETWO PLAYES MOVE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY (LAND)
SOMETHING THAT IS MADE WHEN A DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY DIVIDES MAKES A RIFT VALLEY ON LAND.

DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY (SEA)
WHEN PLATES DIVIDE IN THE OCEAN IT CREATES A MID OCEAN RIDGE. THIS MID OCEAN RIDGE IS CALLED THE MID ATLANTIC RIDGE.
CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY
PLATE BOUNDARY WHERE TWO PLATES COLLIDE TO FORM A VOLCANO OR MOUNTAIN.
OCEAN VS CONTINENT
- A large Trench
- A tench with a volcanic arc
- Two plates crash and form this large trench.
OCEAN VS OCEAN
- Trench with an island arc
- Mid-Atlantic -Ridge
- Two plates that crash in the ocean form a large ridge.
CONTINENT VS CONTINENT
- Moutain Ridge
- Himalaya Mountains
- Two plates on land that crash and form a mountain.

DEEP OCEAN TRENCH
DEEP SEA OCEAN TRENCH ALSO KNOWN AS OCEANIC TRENCH.
DEEP OCEAN TRENCH
- Mariana Trench, it is 11,034m and 36,201 ft below sea level.
TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARY
WHERE TWO PLATES SLIDE ACROSS EACH OTHER AND BREAK OFF PEICES OF EACH OTHER.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARIES ACCOUR?
- Mountains or volcanos are made
- Under water Earthquakes happen

EXAMPLE OF A TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARY
- New Zeland's Alpine Fault
- Pakistan's Chaman Fault
