Processes and Land forms along the Convergent Plate Boundary (1).pptx

Earth Science

1. PROCESSES AND LAND FORMS ALONG THE CONVERGENT P L AT E B O U N DARY With Sir Rye

2. Explain the different processes that occur along the plate boundaries (S10ES –Iaj-36.3) Objectives

3. Make sure you have the following before we start: Have you completed your requirements from your previous teacher? The worksheets for this week's activities

4. Kamusta?

5. Convergent Divergent Transform Shear Compression Tension

6. Convergent Plate Boundary Plates move towards each other Either one plate go below or two plates will crumple as they collide Forms mountains, volcanoes, trenches, and earthquakes “Collide” Compressional Stress Denser Plate always go down Less Dense Plate go up

7. Types of Convergent Plate Boundaries Depending on the type of plates that are colliding Oceanic - Continental Convergent Plate Boundary Oceanic - Oceanic Convergent Plate Boundary Continental - Continental Convergent Plate Boundary

8. Denser Plate always go down Less Dense Plate go up Oceanic plate=denser=go down Called Subduction, this creates Trenches Remember Subducted Plate become Magma Continental plate=less dense=go up Creates Volcanic arcs Earthquakes Oceanic - Continental Convergent Plate Boundary

9. Examples

10. Examples

11. Denser Plate always go down Less Dense Plate go up Old Oceanic plate=denser=go down Called Subduction, this creates Deeper Trenches Remember Subducted Plate become Magma Young plate=less dense=go up Creates Island arcs or Volcanic Island arcs Earthquakes Oceanic - Oceanic Convergent Plate Boundary

12. Examples

13. Examples

14. Examples North American Plate and Pacific Plate Forms Aleutian Volcanic Island Arc

15. Denser Plate always go down Less Dense Plate go up Two Continental Collide push each other upwards Same density = No subduction = No Magma = No volcanoes formed Mountains or Mountain Ranges Earthquakes Continental - Continental Convergent Plate Boundary

16. Examples Indian Plate and Eurasian plate Himalayas Mountain Range

17. TRENCHES ISLAND ARC MOUNTAIN RANGES VOLCANIC ARC EARTHQUAKE
