    1) This laboratory worksheet discusses the three main types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent, and transform. 2) At convergent boundaries, one plate slides under the other through subduction, which can create volcanoes and mountains as new crust is generated. Divergent boundaries occur when plates move apart, generating new ocean crust through volcanism. Transform boundaries involve lateral motion where plates slide past one another but do not create new crust. 3) All three boundary types can produce earthquakes, while convergent boundaries destroy ocean crust through subduction and divergent boundaries create new crust through sea floor spreading. The most studied transform fault in the Philippines is the Philippine Fault Zone.

    Plate Pictu Definition What happens at


    Boundary re these
    boundaries?
    1. Convergent A convergent boundary is At convergent plate
    an area on Earth where two boundaries, oceanic
    or more lithospheric plates crust is often forced
    collide. One plate down into the mantle
    eventually slides beneath where it begins to melt.
    the other, a process known Magma rises into and
    as subduction. The through the other plate,
    subduction zone can be solidifying into granite,
    defined by a plane where the rock that makes up
    many earthquakes occur, the continents. Thus, at
    called the Wadati-Benioff convergent boundaries,
    zone. continental crust is
    created and oceanic
    crust is destroyed.
    2. Divergent A divergent boundary or A divergent boundary
    divergent plate boundary is occurs when two

    between two tectonic plates away from each other.
    that are moving far away Along these boundaries,
    from each other. Divergent earthquakes are
    boundaries within common and magma
    continents initially produce rises from the Earth’s
    rifts, which eventually mantle to the surface,
    become rift valleys. solidifying to create new
    oceanic crust.
    3. Transform The transform plate A transform boundary

    earthquakes, but no
    volcanoes. A transform
    boundary occurs when
    two tectonic plates
    move past one another.

    B. Plate Boundary Questions

    1. Which of the above boundaries can produce earthquakes?


    All three plate boundaries can produce earthquakes.
    2. Which of the above boundaries can produce volcanoes?
    The one who can produce volcanoes is called the Convergent plate boundary.

    3. At which of the above boundaries is sea floor created?


    A boundary which creates sea floor is called a Divergent plate boundary.

    4. At which of the above boundaries is sea floor destroyed?


    A boundary which destroys sea floor is called a Convergent plate boundary.

    5. What types of crust interact at convergent plate boundaries?


    The oceanic crust is the crust which is forced down into the mantle which begins to melt.

    6. What is the most studied transform fault in the Philippines?


    The most studied transform fault in the Philippines is called the PHZ or the Philippine Fault Zone. It is
    1,200km long.
