Geography Lesson on Tectonic Plates.pptx

This presentation explores convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move toward one another. It explains how these movements create geological features such as mountains, trenches, volcanoes, and earthquakes. The lesson outlines the three types of convergent boundaries—oceanic–continental, oceanic–oceanic, and continental–continental—and provides clear learning objectives related to identifying and describing these processes.

1. GEOGRAPHY: Plate Tectonics Convergent Plate Tectonics

2. Aims of the lesson: Explain and interpret the formation of the plate boundary as a geographic process. Describing and explaining the interrelationship between the plate boundaries and the movement of the plates at the convergent plate boundary. Lesson Objectives : Define convergent plate boundaries. Identify geological features associated with divergent boundaries Describe geological features formed at the convergent boundaries. 

3. What Are Convergent Plate Boundaries? Convergent boundaries occur where two tectonic plates move toward each other . The plates may collide or one may be forced beneath the other (subduction). These boundaries are responsible for mountains , earthquakes , trenches , and volcanoes .

4. Convergent Plate Boundaries:

5. Types of Convergent Plate Boundaries: There are three main types: Oceanic–Continental Oceanic–Oceanic Continental–Continental Each type results in different geological features and processes

6. Questions? Feel free to ask anything about plate tectonics or convergent boundaries!
