1. Tectonic Plate Boundaries

3. Continental-Continental Convergent
2 continental plates meet
Push up b/c have = densities
Form mountains
Himalayas (home of Mt. Everest), Asia 
5.5 miles above sea level!

4. Continental-Continental Divergent
2 continental plates spread apart
Magma rises to fill in gap
Forms new land masses & oceans
East African Rift, Africa

5. Oceanic-Oceanic Convergent
2 oceanic crusts meet
1 gets subducted
Form trenches and volcanoes (typically island arcs)
Aleutian Islands (Island arc) near Alaska
Marianas Trench (6.8 mi deep) Pacific Ocean near Japan

6. Oceanic-Oceanic Divergent
, 1 sq mi, sq mi
2 oceanic plates are separating S
Forms mountains, islands, volcanoes
Iceland & Surtsey (off Iceland)
Eurasian plate moves East
N. Amer plate moves West
1980 Krafla Volcano, m of movement opened fissures for magma to rise

7. Oceanic-Continental Convergent
Oceanic and continental plate meet
Oceanic gets subducted
Forms: mountains, trenches, volcanoes
Andes Mts, Peru

8. Transform Where crust/rock is neither created nor destroyed
Plates slide past each other
San Andreas Fault California
