• THIS PICTURE IS AN EXAMPLE OF DIVERGENT BOUNDARY. 2. THE PICTURE BELOW IS THE EARTH’S TECTONIC PLATE. 3. Plate boundaries are the lines at the edges of the different pieces of the lithosphere. 4. The two types of crust are Oceanic crust and Convergent crust 5. “SUBDUCTION” happens at Divergent Boundary. 6. Oceanic Crust is made of denser rock called Basalt. 7. Continental Crust is made of dense rock called Granite. 8. Volcanic activity happens at convergent Plate Boundary. 9. San Andreas Fault is one of the best example Divergent Plate Boundary. 10. Continental crust is denser than Oceanic crust. FORMATION OF THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO Archipelago is a large group of islands. 7,640 ISLANDS HOW ARCHIPELAGO IS FORMED?
