CONVECTIONAL CURRENT

PLATE MOVEMENT

MOVEMENT OF THE EARTH

WORLD MAP OF MAJOR PLATES

DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLATE MOVEMENT CONVERGENT MOVEMENT. DIVERGENT MOVEMENT . TRANSFORM MOVEMENT.

CONVERGENT MOVEMENT CONVERGENT COLLISION CONVERGENT SUBDUCTION

CONVERGENT COLLISION AND RELATED LANDFORM 1. FOLDED MOUNTAIN. 2. SUTURE LINE. 3. GEOSYNCLINE.

CONVERGENT SUBDUCTION AND RELATED LANDFORM CONVERGENT MOVEMENT BETWEEN SIAL AND SIMA: OCEANIC TRENCH. 2. VOLCANIC ARC. 3. SUBDUCTION ZONE. 4. BENI-OFF ZONE.

CONVERGENT SUBDUCTION AND RELATED LANDFORMS CONVERGENT MOVEMENT BETWEEN SIMS AND SIMA : DEEP OCEANIC TRENCH . ISLAND ARC . SUBDUCTION ZONE.

DIVERGENT MOVEMENT AND RELATED LANDFORM DIVERGENT MOVEMENT BETWEEN SIMA AND SIMA: VOLCANIC ISLAND. TRANSFORM FAULT. 3. MID OCEANIC RIDGE.

DIVERGENT MOVEMENT AND RELATED LANDFORM DIVERGENT MOVEMENT BETWEEN SIAL AND SIAL: FAULT AREA. 2. INCRISE OCEAN AREA.

TRANSFORM MOVEMENT AND RELATED LANDFORMS TRANSFORM MOVEMENT BETWEEN SIMA AND SIMA : 1. TRANSFORM FAULT .
