What forms when two plates collide into each-other
an convergent boundary
What can tectonic plate movement cause?
volcanoes,earthquakes,mountians,trenches
What are the three main types of bounderys
Convergent,Divergent,Transform
What are tectonic plates?
Large pieces of Earth's lithosphere that move slowly
What causes tectonic plates to move?
heated movement inside earth,especially convection in the mantle
What layer of earth are tectonic plates apart of?
The lithosphere.
What happends at a transform boundery
two plates slide past each other
why are volcanoes common near convergent plate bounderies
subduction can cause melting
What happens at a divergent boundery?
two plates move apart
What is subduction
when a plate sinks beneath another plate
what happens when two tectonic plates collide.
it causes earth movements
what is a transform plate boundary
where they slide past each other
how can tectonic plate cause earthquakes
by colliding
what is subduction
a geological process where one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the Earth's mantle at a convergent boundary
