Convergent
What are the three types of Convergent Boundaries?
Continental/Continental, Continental/Oceanic, Oceanic/Oceanic.
What are Divergent Boundaries?
Two plates that move away from one another.
What are transform boundaries?
two plates that slide past each other in a horizontal motion.
What happens when two continental plates collide?
And what do they create?
They collide, buckle, and push the crust upward.
This creates Mountains.
When divergent boundaries split what does it form?
Magma seeps up and creates new crust.
What type of landforms mark transform boundaries?
Linear valleys, small ponds, stream beds split in half, deep trenches, and scarps and ridges.
What happens when two oceanic plates collide?
What do they form?
They collide and one of the plates slides under the other one.
They form underwater volcanos and tsunamis.
Divergent Boundaries can create massive______________ ________ in the oceanic ridge system.
Fault Zones
What direction do transform boundary's move?
Horizontal.
What happens when a continental and an oceanic plate collide?
The plates create large mountains.
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Great Rift Valley are types of what?
Divergent Boundaries.
The fracture zone in a transform boundary is also called a ___________?
A transform fault.
The Cascade Mountain Range is an example of what?
Convergent Boundary.
T or F, faulting and folding occur in divergent Boundaries?
False.
T or F, Transform faults specifically relieve strain by transporting the strain between ridges or seduction zones?
True.
