Essential Question: What Happens When Pieces of the Earth's Crust Moves?Tectonic plates constantly move at rates of centimeters per year due to the movement of the mantle below.The plates move very slowly, pressing against one another in some places and pulling apart in other places.Sometimes as these tectonic plates move, they scrape against each other.Boundaries are places where tectonic plates meet.Types of BoundariesConvergent Boundary: the boundary formed by the collision of two tectonic plates.Divergent Boundary: the boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.Transform Boundary: the boundary between two tectonic plates that are scraping past each other horizontally.There are worldwide patterns to major geological events (such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building) that coincide with plate boundaries.Ring of Fire: a ring of volcanoes around the Pacific Plate Types of Boundaries Read the description and select if it describes a Convergent, Divergent or Transform boundary. Convergent (9) Continental Crust = Mountains Continental Crust Oceanic Crust = Subduction Zones Volucanoes Earthquakes Plates Collide Himalayan Mountains Andes Mountains Mount St Helens Aleutian Islands Crust is destroyed! Divergent (9) Plates Separate Continental Crust = Rift Valleys Oceanic Crust = Oceanic Ridges Oceanic Crust = Seafloor Spreading Oceanic Crust = Volcanoes Ocean Earthquakes Mid-Atlantic Ridge East African Rift Crust is Created! Transform (3) Plates scrape past each other Lots of Earthquakes San Andreas Fault Types of Boundaries Match the picture with the name of the boundary. Click and drag the dot to the matching side.
