Activity 2 Convergent Boundaries

Objectives:
 explain the processes that occur along convergent boundaries
 determine the consequences of colliding plates

Where Learning Begins…

Watch and Learn!

This educational video presentation will help you find out the processes that occur along
convergent boundaries and the effects of this type of plate movement on the earth’s surface. Proceed

A. Explore!

This interactive is a skill-building tool that allows the learner to be challenged by exploring what
happens to colliding plates.

B. Understand!

Guide Questions: Using a 1 whole sheet of paper, answer the following questions comprehensively.

1. Based on Figure 10, what type of plate is Plate A? What about Plate B? Explain what
would happen if plate A collides with plate B.

Questions:

1. Based on Figure 11, how will you explain the geologic processes/events that will occur
between the interaction of the two given plates?

Summary:

Another type of convergent plate boundaries is the collision between two continental
plates. How will you differentiate the three types of convergent plate boundaries?
