Types of Plate Boundary

Plate Boundary - a fault separating one plater

from another

Fault - any fracture in rock along which

movement has occurred

Convergent boundary 3. When two oceanic plates converge?

What might happen?

1. When oceanic crust and continental
crust converge?
- SUBDUCTION; The process of
bending of the crust towards the
mantle

Mountain Ranges - series of mountain or

mountain ridges that are grouped closely
and are formed at about the same time and
under the same geologic conditions.

EX: Himalayas Mountain - separates the

earth’s two most populous nations china
- 2. When two continental platers and india.
converge?
Mouth Everest - World’s HIghest Mountain
Divergent Boundary ranges created by the action of geologic rift
or fault
What might happen?
1. Ocean-to-ocean

Transfom Plate Boundary

1. Ocean-to-ocean

Mid-ocean Ridge - a continuous mass of

land with long width and height on the 2. Continent-to-continent
ocean floor(underwater mountain ranges)
EX: Mid-Atlantic Ocean Ridge

2. Continent-to-continent

Rift Valley- A linear shaped Lowland

between several highlands or mountain
