what is convergent boundary?
Covergent boundaries is when 2 plates move towards eachother
where earthquakes and volcanos are most likely to happen in which location
at plates boundaries
when the oceanic plate and land plate collide with eachother, which one will subduct
the oceanic plate
what does sliding mean
transform
which type of boundary is known for causing big earthquakes
transform
Convection corrects in the mantle __
They make continentialplates

covergent boundaries is when 2 plays move towards eachother
an ocean trench occurs when
oceanic crust subducts below continental crust
which of the following occurs because of convection currents
tectonic plates on the crust move
what is the primary cause of natural disasters EX : Earthquakes
the crustal plate movement
what causes does plate tectonics do
earthquakes
what happens in congervent boundary
Continental drift and sea floor spreading were conbined into the new more recent theory of_____
Plate tectonics
transform
melted rock undeground in called
magma
which process doe the continually adds new crust
the sea floor spreading
what happens in convergent boundary
when 2 plates moves towards eachother which results as making volcanos and mountains
hot magma can rise at a subduction zone and break through the crust in a
who came up with the idea of Continental Drift
