Stresses
This stress causes crust to be stretched out and thin in the middle.
Tension
Divergent Boundary
Earthquakes are examples of this type of change...
What was the score of the varsity field hockey game against South Glens Falls?
1-0 Queensbury WIN
This stress is when tectonic plates are squished/pressed together.
Compression
This boundary usually results in massive earthquakes. There is a major one of these near San Andreas, California...
Transform Boundary
A rock starts as a giant boulder on the side of a mountain. After many years of weathering and erosion, the giant boulder is now a tiny pebble. What type of change has occurred?
Gradual Change
Which planet is closest to the sun?
Mercury
This stress usually causes Earthquakes because of the way it causes plates to slide past one another.
Shearing
-Volcanoes
-Mountains
-Rifts
-Trenches
-Subduction

All stresses, faults, breaks, folds, mountains, etc. fall under the category of what?

This boundary is what caused the magnificent Himalayan mountains to grow so quickly... Mt. Everest is the tallest...
Convergent Boundary
GRADUAL OR RAPID

Which stresses are less likely to cause earthquakes, but more likely to cause deformation?
Tension and Compression
Why does oceanic crust get pushed under Continental crust at a convergent boundary?
Oceanic crust is more DENSE. Continental crust is LIGHTER and rises above the oceanic.
