Plate Boundary Tree Diagram

2. Types of Plate Boundaries
Plate Boundaries: Where two lithospheric plates meet
Divergent (what does “diverge” mean?)
Convergent (what does “converge” mean?)
Transform
Plate Tectonics Explained

3. Divergent Plate Boundaries
Divergent/Convergent Boundaries
Divergent V ideo

4. Divergent Boundary: What’s Happening?
When two plates move or spread apart from each other
Draw Picture
Connection: What causes them to move apart from each other?
What hand motion would you use?

5. What does this actually look like?

6. Divergent Boundary: Landforms Created
Mid-Ocean Ridge
New Crust
Rift Valley
Sea-floor Spreading

7. Divergent: Vocabulary
Seafloor Spreading: New crust is formed at divergent boundary; old crust is pushed further away

8. Divergent: Vocabulary
Mid-Ocean Ridge: Underwater mountain ranges created when magma builds up at divergent boundary
Rift Valley: Deep depression or “Ditch” where plates diverge

9. Real-World Example: Mid-Atlantic Ridge Hikers walk in the shadow of cliffs in Ireland. The divergent Mid-Atlantic Ridge rises above sea level, with the North American plate to the west and the Eurasian plate to the east.

10. Divergent Summary
How are the plates moving at the boundary?
What landforms occur as a result of plate movement?

Today we are learning about CONVERGENT!

12. Convergent Boundaries
There are two things that can happen when two plates move towards one another
1. One sinks under the other and starts to melt
2. They both collide and start to crumble and pile up.

13. Types of Convergent Boundaries
Oceanic - Oceanic
Oceanic - Continental
Continental - Continental
The only difference between the two type of plates is the rock composition and the density.

14. Continental-Collision: What’s happening?
Two Continental Plates collide and crash into each other– lithosphere folds like wrinkles
Draw Picture

15. Continental-Collision: Landforms
Mountains
Continental plates crunches and folds the rock at the boundary, lifting it up and leading to the formation of mountains.
Real World Example: Appalachian Mountains

16. Continental-Subduction: What’s Happening?
Oceanic-Continental: Oceanic plate subducts (more dense)
Oceanic-Oceanic: Older oceanic plate subducts under younger oceanic plate
Draw Picture

17. Continental-Subduction: Landforms
Trenches
Volcanoes
Earthquakes

18. Vocabulary: Convergent-Subduction
Subduction Zone: An area where one plate (denser) sinks below another

19. Vocabulary: Convergent-Subduction
Volcano: A mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. When pressure builds up, eruptions occur and gases and magma are expelled. 
Real World Example:
Cascade Volcanoes (Washington/ Oregon)

20. Vocabulary: Convergent-Subduction
Trench: Deep depression in ocean floor forms where one plate sinks below the other
Real World Examples:
Mariana Trench

21. Convergent Plates

22. Types of Convergent Boundaries
Oceanic-Oceanic
Oceanic-Continental
Continental-Continental
Relative Density
Both have same density, but one is older
Oceanic is more dense than continental
Both have same density
What happens
Older plate goes under the other (subduction)
Ocean plate goes under the continental plate (subduction)
They hit each other and squish upwards
Landforms
Volcanoes and ocean trench
Exp: Mariana Trench
Volcanoes
Exp: Ring of Fire
Mountains
Exp: Himalaya Mountains

23. Where are we going?
We appear to be headed for another super continent as North America, South America, Asia and Australia converge in the ever shrinking Pacific Ocean

24. Ring of Fire= Subduction Zones

25. Summary Sentence
How are the plates moving at the boundary?
What landforms occur as a result of plate movement?

26. Divergent boundaries
Convergent boundaries
Transform boundaries

27. Transform boundaries: What’s Happening
Two plates slide past each other

28. Transform boundaries: Landforms
Earthquakes
Faults

29. Vocabulary: Earthquakes
Earthquakes: “Shaking” in the earth due to plate movement. As the plates move, they put tension on themselves and each other. When the force is large enough, the crust is forced to break. When the break occurs, the stress is released as energy which moves through the Earth in the form of seismic waves

30. Vocabulary: Transform
Faults: Cracks in the earth crust that occur when plates snap
Real World Example: San Andreas Fault (California)

31. Tsunami
Tsunami: Giant waves caused by earthquakes occurring on the ocean floor
“Harbor Wave” in Japanese
Real World Example:
Japanese Tsunami
Mega tsunami

32. Summary Sentence
How are the plates moving at the boundary?
What landforms occur as a result of plate movement?
