Convergent
What movement does convergent boundary do
Collide
What movement does divergent boundary do
Seperat or divide
WHAT movement does transform boundary do
Shearing or slide horizontally
WHAT is another term for plate tectonics
A tectonic plate is most commonly called a lithospheric plate
Which boundary is sunduction from
Convergent
What is a convergent boundary
A convergent boundary is a place on Earth where two or more tectonic plates move toward each other and collide
A divergent boundary is
A divergent boundary is a linear geological zone where two tectonic plates move away from each other,
What is a transform boundary
A transform boundary is a place where two tectonic plates slide horizontally past one another
What discribes a plate tectonic
a massive, rigid slab of solid rock made up of the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle
which boundary creates oceanic/oceanic
convergent plate boundary
Which to builds up mountains
Continental-continental collisions build massive mountain ranges like the Himalayas.
What rises to fill up the gap making what
Magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap, creating mid-ocean ridges
What friction builds up until what releases
Friction builds up until it releases as major earthquakes
What is a plate tectonic
Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that Earth’s outer shell is broken into large, rigid pieces of rock called tectonic plates that glide over a hot, semi-fluid layer of the mantle
What is all of the features for Divergent
What are three types of convergent boundaries
Oceanic-Oceanic, Oceanic-Continental, Continental-Continental
What doesn't happen at a divergent boundary
large mountain building and crust destruction
What landforms are formed by transform plate boundaries
strike slip faults linear valleys
According to plate-tectonic theory where is new oceanic crust being formed?
It forms in the mid-oceanic ridges or divergent margins
The East Pacific Rise and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge represents which boundaries
Divergent
Why is a convergent boundary called a destructive boundary
It's called the destructive boundary because old crust melts back into the mantle and is destroyed during subduction
What geological feature is primarily formed at divergent boundaries
mid ocean ridges
What is a famous transform boundary
The San Andreas fault
What lies directly beneath the lithosphere and it is around 200 km thick
The asthenosphere
The San Andreas fault is a classical what boundary
Transform
