 Earth’s surface is made of rigid slabs of rock that move.

There are 3 main types of plate boundaries: 1. Divergent 2. Convergent 3. Transform.

PLATE TECTONICS. Lithospheric plates Lithosphere is made up of 12 large plates and about 20 smaller ones Plates are solid and float on the asthenosphere.

Vocabulary convection The movement of materials based on density. Warm materials are less dense, so they rise and cool, becoming more dense and then sink.

Plate Tectonics. Theory of Plate Tectonics  Earth’s crust and part of the upper mantle are broken into sections  Sections of Earth’s crust = PLATES.

Plate Tectonics. The crust is broken into plates that float on the mantle. The crust is broken into plates that float on the mantle. Sometimes the plates.

Presentation transcript:

Tectonic Plate Boundaries

Divergent EX: seafloor spreading, ocean basins Two plates pulling apart from each other, allowing mantle to seep up and turn into new crust

Two plates sliding/grinding past one another Transform EX: Earthquakes, tsunami Two plates sliding/grinding past one another

Two plates with equal density push up against each other Convergent EX: Mountain building Two plates with equal density push up against each other

When a more dense plate subducts under a less dense plate Convergent (subduction) EX: Volcanoes When a more dense plate subducts under a less dense plate
