2. Based on the theory of plate tectonics
the Earthโs outermost rigid layer is
called lithosphere and broken into
several segments called plates
(Rabago,2010).
It consists of crust and uppermost
mantle. Most plates contain both
oceanic and continental crust.
3. There are large and small plates which
move very slowly but constantly.
Movement of these plates could also
generate weak or strong earthquakes.
Driven by mantle convection, the
lithospheric plates ride over soft,
ductile layer called asthenosphere.
4. How do the plates move?
The movement of plates is described by the three types
of plate boundaries:
divergent, convergent and transform boundary.
5. Divergent
When two plates are moving away from
each other it is called as divergent
boundary.
Plates are forming divergent plate
boundaries like in the formation of rift
valleys and oceanic ridges wherein the
crust is spreading or splitting.
Most divergent boundaries are situated
along underwater mountain ranges.
6. Convergent
Convergent boundaries form when
two plates move toward each other.
Convergence can involve two oceanic
plates, a continental and an oceanic plate
or two continental plates.
Oceanic trenches, islands arcs, and
mountain belts form at convergent
boundaries. Many of Earthโs most
dangerous volcanoes and largest
earthquakes also occur along these
boundaries (Johnson & Reynolds,2016).
7. Transform
A plate boundary where plates are
sliding past each other is called transform
boundary. Plates slip horizontally past
each other along transform
faults(Johnson&Reynolds,2016).
Transform fault boundaries may
cause earthquake activities triggered by
movements along the fault system. In the
oceans, transform faults are associated
with mid-ocean ridges.
Transform faults combine with
spreading centers to form a zigzag
pattern on ocean floor.
California(Johnson&Reynolds,2016).
