3. Make sure you have the
following before we start:
• Have you completed your
requirements from your
previous teacher?
• The worksheets for this
week's activities
6. Convergent Plate
Boundary
• Plates move towards each
other
• Either one plate go below or
two plates will crumple as they
collide
• Forms mountains, volcanoes,
trenches, and earthquakes
• “Collide”
• Compressional Stress
• Denser Plate always go down
Less Dense Plate go up
7. Types of Convergent
Plate Boundaries
• Depending on the type of plates that are
colliding
• Oceanic - Continental
Convergent Plate Boundary
• Oceanic - Oceanic
Convergent Plate Boundary
• Continental - Continental
Convergent Plate Boundary
8. • Denser Plate always go down Less Dense
Plate go up
• Oceanic plate=denser=go down
• Called Subduction, this creates Trenches
• Remember Subducted Plate become
Magma
• Continental plate=less dense=go up
• Creates Volcanic arcs
• Earthquakes
Oceanic - Continental
Convergent Plate Boundary
11. • Denser Plate always go down Less Dense Plate
go up
• Old Oceanic plate=denser=go down
• Called Subduction, this creates Deeper
Trenches
• Remember Subducted Plate become Magma
• Young plate=less dense=go up
• Creates Island arcs or Volcanic Island arcs
• Earthquakes
Oceanic - Oceanic
Convergent Plate Boundary
15. • Denser Plate always go down Less Dense Plate
go up
• Two Continental Collide push each other
upwards
• Same density = No subduction = No Magma =
No volcanoes formed
• Mountains or Mountain Ranges
• Earthquakes
Continental - Continental
Convergent Plate Boundary
