Presentation on theme: "Plate Boundaries http://geology.com/nsta/earth-internal-structure.shtml."— Presentation transcript:

1 Plate Boundaries

2 Warm-Up Turn in your Earth pictures. Write today’s date and the standard posted on the board by lab 10.

3 Plate Boundaries Title your paper “Plate Boundaries” 1) Draw each boundary on the slide 2) Take notes on an example of each. Boundary = like a boarder, where two things touch (like country boarders)

4 Convergent Boundary

5 Convergent Boundary 1 Oceanic - Continental
Plates move toward each other Volcanoes and earthquakes (large earthquakes possible)

6 Convergent Boundary 1 Washington (Cascades) Chile, Argentina (Andes)
Mt. Rainier, WA Mt. Huarscaran, Peru

7 Convergent Boundary 2 Younger oceanic – older oceanic
Plates move toward each other Volcanoes and earthquakes (large earthquakes possible) Volcanic Islands

8 Convergent Boundary 2 Younger oceanic – older oceanic
Japan, Philippines, Papua New Guinea

9 Convergent Boundary 3 Continental - Continental
Plates toward each other Mountains and earthquakes (large earthquakes possible)

10 Convergent Boundary 3 Continental - Continental
India (Himalayas)

11 divergent Boundary

12 Divergent (makes ocean floor)
Plates move away from other Small “volcanoes” and earthquakes (shallow earthquakes)

13 Divergent (makes ocean floor)
Mid-Atlantic Ridge (Atlantic Ocean, Iceland, East Africa)

14 Warm-Up List the plate boundaries we talked about yesterday. Be able to name 1 example of each.

15 Transform Boundary

16 Transform

17 California, San Andreas Fault Along side divergent boundaries too
Transform California, San Andreas Fault Along side divergent boundaries too

18 Edible Plate Tectonics
Follow the directions at your table. Draw a picture of and write down the name of each boundary type the activity represents. Use the computer or a map to name a real life example of where each of these plate boundaries occur.
