Presentation transcript:

Plate Boundary Foldable Fold hot dog style Fold in ½ 2 times to create 4 creases Cut along creases to make 4 flaps Label 4 flaps: Divide Boundary (Divergent) Collision Boundary (Convergent) Slide Boundary (Transform) Collision Boundary II (Subduction)

Divide Boundary (Divergent) Plates pulling apart. New land formed when magma is forced up toward the surface.

Collision Boundary (Convergent) Two plates collide and push up to form mountain ranges.

Slide Boundary (Transform) Where two plates slide past each other causing earthquakes. Can be moving in same or different directions.

Collision Boundary Pt 2 (Subduction) Where oceanic and continental plates collide. Denser Oceanic plates slide under less dense continental plates. Friction between plates causes rock to melt leading to volcanic activity.
