What’s in
Faults - a fracture or zone of
fractures between two blocks of
rock.
Plates - a massive, irregularly shaped
slab of solid rock, generally
composed of both continental and
oceanic lithosphere.
Ridge - a long, narrow, elevated
geomorphologic landform, structural
feature, or combination of both
separated from the surrounding
terrain by steep sides.
Fold - a fold is a geologic structure
that is formed by layers or beds of
rock being bent or folded.
Subduction - occurs when an oceanic
plate runs into a continental plate
and slides beneath it.
Mountain - most geologists classify a
mountain as a landform that rises at
least 1,000 feet (300 meters) or
more above its surrounding area.
Divergent - this is where two plates
move away from each other.
Convergent - This occurs when plates
move towards each other and
collide.
Volcanic arc - is a chain of volcanoes,
hundreds to thousands of miles long,
that forms above a subduction zone.

ACTIVITY B
Faults, folding, ridges, mountains,
valleys, and volcanic are formed
when the plates move because there
is a subduction zone where an
oceanic plate dives below a
continental plate. The rest of the
plate is also pulled by the slab pull. It
happens when the two plates collide
resulting in mountains folding. When
two tectonic plates move away from
each other. Along these boundaries,
earthquakes are common and
magma (molten rock) rises from the
Earth's mantle to the surface,
solidifying to create new oceanic
crust. As the plates rub against each
other, huge stresses can cause
portions of the rock to break,
resulting in earthquakes. Places
where these breaks occur are called
faults.

What I can do
A. Everything happens for a reason -
the quote everything happens for a
reason can be related to the lesson
plate and boundaries because no
one can predict when the plate
boundaries will shift or when an
earthquake will occur. There is
always a reason for this to occur.
B. The collision buckles the edge of
one or both plates, creating a
mountain range or subducting one of
the plates under the other, creating
a deep seafloor trench. At
convergent boundaries, continental
crust is created and oceanic crust is
destroyed as it subducts, melts, and
becomes magma.
C. The plate or movement of plate
boundaries can also benefit human
because many of the earth’s natural
resources of energy, minerals and
soil are concentrated near past or
present plate boundaries. The
utilization of these readily available
resources has sustained the human
civilization, both now and in the past.
