Presentation transcript:

Do Now What do convection currents do? Explain in your own words how convection currents work. (Hint: think about Ms. Simmons’ cool lava lamp that she had in high school that made her so AWESOME!) What are the Earth’s 2 major layers? What are the 7 major plates? If plates are moving together its called a _______ boundary. If plates are moving away from each other it’s called a ________ boundary. Give a real life example of a transform boundary. Give a real life example of a convergent boundary.

Types of Convergent Boundaries Plate Tectonics – Part 2 Types of Convergent Boundaries PLATE COLLISIONS!!!!

Oceanic – Continental Convergence 1. Collision!!! 2. Continental Crust is less dense so Oceanic crust sinks (subducts) into the asthenosphere.

Oceanic – Continental Convergence 3. Subducting Ocean Plate creates a V-shaped Trench. 4. Oceanic Plate reaches the asthenosphere and melts.

Oceanic – Continental Convergence 5. The melted magma begins to rise through the mantle and crust. 6. It will rise to make a volcanic eruption. 7. Lava cools forming a continental volcanic arc.

Oceanic – Continental Convergence Animation http://geology.com/nsta/convergent-boundary-oceanic-continental.gif https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep2_axAA9Mw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXY4oEqezq0

Oceanic – Continental Examples Cascades Mountain Range (Mt. St. Helens) Andes Volcanic Mountains (South America)

Oceanic – Oceanic Boundary 1. Collision!!! 2. The more dense ocean plate (older) subducts into the asthenosphere.

Oceanic – Oceanic Boundary 3. Oceanic crust melts into magma. 4. Magma becomes buoyant and rises. 5. This eventually forms volcanic islands in the water.

Example of Oceanic-Oceanic Boundaries ALUETIAN ISLANDS

Example of Oceanic-Oceanic Boundaries Northern Mariana Islands

Continental – Continental Boundary 1. Collision!!! 2. Neither plate subducts because they are both low in density.

Continental – Continental Boundary 3. Crust is compressed and deformed, forced upward forming a mountain range.
