1 Bell ringer- How could you describe the different types of plate boundaries that you see on this diagram?

2 Today: -Boundary types notes -Add M/V/E's onto world map -Attempt to add arrows of plate movement directions onto world map

3 Continental Drift- Plate Boundary Types

4 Tectonic Plates on Modern Earth

5 There are three main types of plate boundaries:
1- Convergent 2- Divergent 3- Transform

6 1. Convergent (aka subduction zone) boundaries – where one plate overrides another plate. Each plate is bounded by some combination of these three plate boundary types. 2. Divergent (aka spreading) boundaries – where plates are moving apart 3. Transform fault boundaries – where plates are moving past each other

8 The material making up the plates can be divided in two types:
i. Oceanic crust ii. Continental crust

18 So which of these could be axial?
Which could show Oregon?

19 Now... -Add Mountains/Volcanos/Earthquake's onto world map -Attempt to add arrows of plate movement directions onto world map
