Types of Boundaries – Convergent
Plates come together Denser oceanic crust, is subducted under the lighter continental crust. Island Arc Volcanic mnt. Range Folded mnt. range Trench Subduction Zone
3
Folded Mnt. Range Island Arch/ Volcano mnt. Range The Aleutian Islands
4
Types of Boundaries – Divergent
Plates pull apart to allow new crust to emerge continental crust pulls apart = forms a rift valley oceanic crust pulls apart = forms a ocean ridge Atlantic Ocean grows about 2-3 cm/y
5
Rift Valley Ocean Ridge
6
Types of Boundaries – Transform
Plates move horizontally past each other, causing crust to deform or fracture Characterized by faults
7
There are two type of Faults:
1. Strike Slip: two pieces of land move horizontally
8
There are two type of Faults:
2. Reverse: two pieces of land move vertically
9
San Andres Fault
