Divergent
This type of rock creates the new ocean floor
What is basalt?
The earthquake hypocenter increases in depth from shallow to deep moving away from the trench
What is the Wadati-Benioff Zone? (also occur on Oceanic-Continental Convergent)
This forms between the trench and the volcanic arc and is composed of material not dense enough to be subducted.
What is the accretionary prism?
This type of mountain building forms here
What is continental collision?
The depth of Earthquakes that occur here
What is shallow?
This is the relative age of the seafloor at divergent plate boundaries.
What is the youngest?
The volcanoes that form in a line parallel to a trench
What is a volcanic island arc?
This plate subducts
What is the oceanic plate?
This type of crust is involved on both sides of the boundary
What is continental?
What are fracture zones?
This depth of Earthquakes is common here
The type of stress at a convergent plate boundary
What is compression?
The type of continental margin that forms
What is an active continental margin?
What is shallow?
The type of volcanoes that occur here
None!!! (Sorry, tricky)
The underwater mountain range found at divergent plate boundaries
What is the ridge?
The deepest part of the sea floor
What is a trench?
Where these forms in relation to ocean and continents
What is the coastline?
An example of this type of plate boundary
What are the Himalaya or Alps?
The type of stress that forms at transform plate boundaries
What is shear?
The type of stress that forms these boundaries
What is tension? (extension ok)
What is subduction zone?
The type of mountain building that occurs here
What is subduction zone mountain building
The type of metamorphism that occurs here
What is regional?
An example of a transform plate boundary
