2 Copy this chart Type of plate boundary Observation/ Notes picture
Continental-Continental Crust Divergent Boundary Oceanic- Oceanic Crust Continental – Continental Crust Transform Boundary Continental-Oceanic Crust Convergent Boundary Continental- Continental Crust Copy this chart

3 Continental-Continental Crust Oceanic- Oceanic Crust
Type of plate boundary Observation/ Notes picture Continental-Continental Crust Divergent Boundary Rift valleys form Oceanic- Oceanic Crust New crust forms As oceanic crust spreads, magma fills the new rift valley creating new crust

4 Continental – Continental Crust
Type of plate boundary Observation/ Notes picture Continental – Continental Crust Transform Boundary Crust is not created or destroyed Earthquakes occur along this boundary

5 Continental-Oceanic Crust Continental- Continental Crust
Type of plate boundary Observation/ Notes picture Continental-Oceanic Crust Convergent Boundary Oceanic crust sinks below continental crust because its more dense Crust melts and is destroyed as it sinks below continental crust Continental- Continental Crust Land is forced up causing mountains to form

Theory of Plate Tectonics

Theory of Plate Tectonics
Plate Tectonics.

Plate Tectonics.
 The theory of plate tectonics explains the formation, movements, and subduction of the earth’s plates. ◦ What is a plate?  A section of lithosphere.

How Earth’s Plates Move Plate Tectonics. The Lithosphere The plates of the lithosphere fit together like puzzle pieces and float on the asthenosphere.

The Theory of Plate Tectonics 3.3 notes How plates move  The theory of plate tectonics states that pieces of Earth’s lithosphere are in slow, constant.

Plate Boundaries JOURNAL PAGE 65.  The edges of the plates meet at lines called plate boundaries.  When rocks slip past each other along these boundaries.

Volcanoes can form at any point where the crust is weak. They mostly form along boundaries of Earth’s plates because that is where the rocks tend to be.
