Types of plate boundaries

Types of Plate Boundaries: Convergent, Divergent, and Transform Boundary

1. TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDARIES

2. Why do we need to study plate boundaries?

3. TYPES OF PLATE BOUNDARIES Divergent Boundary Convergent Boundary Transform Fault Boundary

4. Let’s Do This!!! HEAD-ON COLLISION A: Converging Continental Plate and Oceanic Plate

5. HEAD-ON COLLISION Objective: Explain the processes that occur along convergent boundaries. Determine the consequences of colliding plates. Procedure: Study the figure showing a cross-sectional diagram of plates that are converging.

6. HEAD-ON COLLISION Questions: What type of plate is Plate A? What about Plate B? Why do you say so? 2. Describe what happens to Plate A as it collides with Plate B? 3. What do you think may happen to the leading edge of Plate A as it continues to move downward? Why?

7. HEAD-ON COLLISION Questions: 4. What do you call this molten material? 4. What do you call this molten material? 5. What is formed on top of Plate B? 6. As the plates continue to grind against each other, what other geologic event could take place?

8. Converging Oceanic Crust Leading Plate and Continental Crust Leading Plate What is the reason for this?

9. Converging Oceanic Crust Leading Plate and Continental Crust Leading Plate Subduction process The bending of the crust towards the mantle.

10. Converging Oceanic Crust Leading Plate and Continental Crust Leading Plate trench Geologic Features Formation submarine valley ocean trenches earthquakes

11. Let’s Do This!!! HEAD-ON COLLISION B: Convergence of Two Oceanic Plates

12. HEAD-ON COLLISION Objective: Explain the processes that occur along convergent boundaries. Determine the consequences of colliding plates. Procedure: Study the figure showing a cross-sectional diagram of plates that are converging. Using your knowledge gained from the previous activity, identify the geologic events or features resulting from this collision.

23. Let’s Do This!!! GOING SEPARATE WAYS

24. HEAD-ON COLLISION Objective: Explain the processes that occur along divergent boundaries. Determine the results of plates that are moving apart. Procedure: Analyze the photographs of rift valleys and the oceanic ridges

25. HEAD-ON COLLISION

26. HEAD-ON COLLISION Questions: What common in the four pictures? 2. What do you think is happening to the Earth’s crust in those pictures? 3. If this event continues for millions of years, what do you think will be the effect on the crust?
