Presentation transcript:

San Andres Fault The two plates that created the San Andreas Fault are the North American and Pacific Plates. The type of plate movement that created this fault is a transform boundary.

Mid Atlantic Ridge The two tectonic plates that created the Mid Atlantic Ridge are the North American and Eurasian Plates. The type of plate movement that created this ridge is a divergent boundary.

A convergent plate movement created these mountains. The Eurasian and the Indo-Australian plate created this mountain range. Himalayan Mountains

Convergent Boundary/Subduction Zone The oceanic plate dives below the continental plate. The plate melts back into the mantle and creates a hot spot. The hot mantle rises up through the crust and creates volcanoes. (Mt. St. Helens) Hot Spot
