Plate Boundaries
What is the plate boundary that can be found at position G?
Convergent
At what location would you find a rift valley?
L
Describe the plate motion/movement at position F. What type of pressure is this caused by?
Plates move away from each other. Tension
What type of crust is associated with position K?
Oceanic
What type of boundary is located at position J?
None, it's in the middle of a plate
What geological features can be found at position E?
Faults
Describe the motion/movement of the plates at position G. What pressure is this caused by?
Plates move toward each other. Compression
What type of crust is associated with position C?
Continental
At what location would you see continental crust diverging from continental crust?
L
At what location(s) would you find mid-ocean ridges?
A, F
Describe the plate motion/movement at position E. What type of pressure is this caused by?
Plates slide past each other. Shearing
What type of crust is at position J?
Continental
At which location do you have oceanic crust diverging from oceanic crust?
A, F
At what location would you find an ocean trench?
G, D
Describe the motion/movement of the plates at position C. What type of pressure is this caused by?
No plate boundary here, so no plates interacting
At what location do you see oceanic crust converging with continental crust?
D
At what location(s) would you find subduction occurring between two plates?
D, G
What geological features can be found at position D?
Ocean trenches and volcanoes (volcanic mountains)
Describe the plate motion/movement at position D, including what happens to the oceanic plate and the type of pressure.
Plates move toward each other, and the oceanic plate is forced down beneath the continental plate (subduction). Compression
At what location do you see continental crust converging with continental crust? What will this create?
B, Himalayas
