Presentation transcript:

Convergent Plate Boundaries  plate motions provide the mechanisms by which mantle rocks melt to generate magma Plate Tectonics and Igneous Activity

Convergent Boundary Volcano

Divergent Plate Boundaries  The greatest volume of volcanic rock is produced along the oceanic ridge system Plate Tectonics and Igneous Activity Lithosphere pulls apart.

Intraplate Igneous Activity  Intraplate volcanism =volcanic activity on as tectonic plate away from plate boundaries Plate Tectonics and Igneous Activity Examples include the Hawaiian Islands and the Columbia Plateau.
