PLATE BOUNDARIES

Van Denver E. Bautista

OBJECTIVES:

1. Discuss the three types of plate

boundaries.
2. Have a recap.
3. Watch a video regarding plate
boundaries.
4. Answer 5 multiple choice questions.
PLATE BOUNDARIES

Three types:
➔ Divergent
➔ Convergent
➔ Transform
What is a divergent plate
boundary?

It happens when two tectonic plates

move away from each other.
 “
In this boundary earthquakes are
common. An example of this, is when
magma rises from the mantle to the
earth’s surface causing it to create a
new oceanic crust.

CONVERGENT BOUNDARY
When two plates come together.
MORE INFORMATION:
■ When two plates collide it may result
into mountain ranges or when the edge
of the plates go down due to a process
called”subduction”it will turn into a
deep seafloor trench.
■ Continental crust is created while
oceanic crust is destroyed.

WHAT IS TRANSFORM
BOUNDARY?
■ When two tectonic
plates slide along
each other.
■ The scraping of
two plates causes
an earthquake. CREDITS:

TRANSFORM BOUNDARY
- Also called conservative boundary.
The fracture zone that forms a
transform boundary is called a
transform fault.
The most famous example of this is
the San Andreas Fault zone of
Western North America.
