4
Plate Boundaries Key Questions 1. What are the features at a convergent boundary? 2. What are the features at a divergent boundary? 3. What are the features at a transform boundary?
5
Convergent Plate Boundary 1.Oceanic-Oceanic 2.Continental- Continental 3.Continental- Oceanic Features: Mountains Trenches Volcanoes
6
Continental-Oceanic Convergent Boundary More dense Oceanic plate subducts (slides) below the Continental plate. Features: oTrenches oVolcanoes oMountains
7
Oceanic-Oceanic Convergent Boundary Subduction of the older more dense Oceanic Plate Forms a trench or volcanic islands
8
Continental-Continental The plates buckle up and forms mountain ranges.
9
Features of Divergent Boundary: Mid-Ocean Ridge Rift Valleys Volcanoes
10
Transform Boundaries Earthquakes occur at transform boundaries.
11
