There are three main types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates move apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide …

understand Plate Boundaries (Divergent, Convergent, and Transform fault). After going through this module, you are expected to: 1. describe the different types of plate boundaries (S10 -Ia -j …

In this lesson, students use scientific data to learn how the scientific process works. They learn where the Earth’s tectonic plates and their boundaries are, what happens at the boundaries, …

Earthquakes and volcanoes are most likely to occur either on or near plate boundaries. At a constructive or divergent boundary the plates move apart. At a destructive or convergent …

Emerging Evidence for Plate Tectonics • Mapping the ocean floors using echo-sounding (sonar) records • Paleomagnetism patterns in ocean basalt • Earthquake epicenter patterns • Volcano …

- You can use locations of earthquakes to identify the location of tectonic plate boundaries. - Earth’s crust (the lithosphere) is split up into plates that can either pull away from each other or …

Plate Tectonics Each type of interaction causes a characteristic set of Earth structures or "tectonic" features. The word, tectonic, refers to the deformation of the crust as a consequence …

TECTONIC PLATES • Plate tectonics expanded the continental drift concept • LITHOSPHERE is the rigid outermost shell of the Earth (the crust and upper mantle). • Tectonic forces create, …

The document discusses the three main types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries where plates move towards each other, divergent boundaries where plates move apart, and …

A convergent plate boundary forms where two plates collide. The denser plate sinks below the more buoyant plate in a process called subduction. A subduction zone is the area where a …
