DO NOT WRITE WHAT IS IN YELLOW

Divergent Plate Boundaries Divergent Boundary: Between two lithospheric plates that are moving apart DI-vergent/DI-vide Rift Valleys: deep valleys at the center of a mid-ocean ridge Sea-floor spreading: molten rock forces its way upward through cracks or rifts, forming new rock Result in hydrothermal vents
3
On page 5 of the ESRT, where are there Divergent Boundaries? Draw it out with Geology.Com! Draw it out with Geology.Com
4
Convergent Plate Boundaries Convergent Boundary: Between two plates that are moving toward each other CO-nvergent/CO-me together Subduction boundary: An area where an oceanic plate goes beneath another plate Results in volcanoes
5
On page 5 of your ESRT, where are the CONVERGENT boundaries? Draw it out again with Geology.com Draw it out again with Geology.com
6
Collision Plate Boundary Collision Boundary: Type of convergent boundary in which 2 continents may become 1 continent Example: Himalayas->result of India pushing into China at a rate of 5cm per year
7
Transform Boundary Transform Boundary: Located between 2 plates that are sliding past each other. According to page 5 of the ESRT, where is there a transform boundary? Guess what?? Draw it out! Guess what?? Draw it out!
8
Causes of Plate Movement Mantle convection: The process in which heat from Earth’s inner and outer cores is transferred through the mantle Ridge push: A force exerted by cooling, subsiding rock on the spreading lithospheric plates at the mid-ocean ridge Slab pull: A force at a subduction boundary that the sinking edge of the sinking plate exerts on the rest of the plate
