PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Plate tectonics;
Pieces of the lithosphere are in slow constant motion.
Convection currents;
The flow that transfers heat through a fluid.
Slab pull;
The pull of gravity on a plAte that is being subducted.
Ridge push;
New less dense crust forming at divergent plate boundaries pushes older crust out of the way as older, Denser crust gets pulled away by gravity.
Divergent;
Plates move away from each other.
Rift Valley;
Land form that results from a divergent plate boundary.
Mid ocean ridge; under water landform that is caused by a divergent plate boundary.
Convergent plate boundary;
a convergent boundary, also known as a destructive plate boundary is an actively deforming region where two tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide.
Subduction zone; A subduction zone is the biggest smash-up on Earth, marking the collision between two of the planet's tectonic plates
Deep-o trench;
Oceanic crust is formed at an oceanic ridge, while the lithosphere is subducted back into the asthenosphere at trenches.
Transform boundary; when two plates slide past each other
RESULTING EVENT FROM TRANSFORM BOUNDARY
Convergent plate boundary
