Convergent Plate Boundaries
What type of plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move toward each other?
What is Convergent Boundaries?
What happens to tectonic plates at a divergent boundary?
What is they move apart?
What type of plate movement happens at a transform boundary?
What is plates slide past each other?
What surface feature is formed when magma reaches the Earth's surface?
What is a volcano?
What is the outermost layer of Earth called?
What is the Crust?
What surface feature can form when two continental plates collide?
What is Mountain ranges?
What material rises to fill the gap when plates move apart?
What is Magma?
Do transform boundaries create or destroy crust?
What is neither?
What surface feature forms when plates collide and push land upward?
What is Mountain Range?
Which layer of Earth is thick and made of hot, slowly moving rock?
What is Mantle?
What happens to the denser plate when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate?
What is sinks/subducts beneath the other plate?
Name one surface feature formed at a divergent boundary.
What is Rift Valley or Mid-Ocean Ridge?
What major geological event is most common at transform boundaries?
What is earthquakes?
What surface feature forms when plates pull apart on land?
Which layer is the hottest part of Earth?
What is the Inner Core?
Why do volcanoes often form at oceanic-continental convergent boundaries?
What is the subducting plate melts and magma rises to the surface?
Why is new crust formed at divergent boundaries?
What is magma rises, cools, and hardens into rock?
Why do earthquakes occur at transform boundaries?
What is plates get stuck, energy builds up, then is released?
Which surface feature is formed when one plate sinks beneath another?
What is a Trench?
Which layer’s heat helps drive tectonic plate movement?
What is the Mantle?
Explain how convergent boundaries can cause both earthquakes and mountains.
What is Plates collide, releasing energy (earthquakes) and pushing crust upward (mountains)?
How does energy from inside Earth cause changes at divergent boundaries?
What is heat causes magma to rise, pushing plates apart and creating new surface features?
Name a famous transform boundary in the United States?
What is San Andreas Fault?
Why are most volcanoes and earthquakes found near plate boundaries?
What is plate movement releases energy and allows magma to rise?
How does energy from Earth’s layers affect plate tectonics?
What is heat from the mantle causes convection that moves plates?
