Types of Boundaries
This type of plate boundary moves towards one another or collides.
Convergent
This kind of feature is found at a convergent plate boundary.
Folded Mountains
At this famous location is where you can find the most active spot for volcanoes.
The Ring of Fire
Convergent boundaries have this type of movement.
Colliding
This famous scientist developed the Continental Drift Theory.
Alfred Wegener
This type of plate boundary moves away from each other or divides.
Divergent
These kinds of features are found at a divergent plate boundary.
Rift Valleys and Sea-Floor Spreading
At this famous location you will find some of the most active earthquakes.
San Andreas Fault in California
Divergent boundaries have this type of movement.
Dividing
This famous scientist discovered sea-floor spreading.
Harry Hess
This type of plate boundary slides past each other.
Transform
These kinds of features are found at a transform plate boundary.
Earthquakes and Fault Lines
At this famous location you will find a continental rift valley.
Great Rift Valley in Africa
Transform boundaries have this type of movement.
This is the "engine" that moves the plates.
Convection Currents
This type of plate boundary is a convergent boundary that has subduction and is found under water.
Ocean-Ocean Convergent Boundary
This type of feature is found only at continent-continent convergent plate boundaries.
Mountains
At this famous location you will find underwater sea-floor spreading.
Mid-Atlantic Ridge in Atlantic Ocean
Continent-continent convergent boundaries have this type of movement.
Colliding
This is neither created nor destroyed at a transform boundary.
Crust
This type of plate boundary is a type of convergent boundary that has subduction and is found above ground.
Ocean-Continent Plate Boundary
This type of feature is found only at ocean-ocean convergent plate boundaries.
Volcanic Arc of Islands
At this famous location you will find a volcanic arc of islands.
Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska
Ocean-ocean and ocean-continent convergent boundaries have this type of movement.
Subduction
This is Miss Romanoski's favorite kind of vacation (hint: it involves water and islands)
