 Divergent Boundary

 Transform Fault Boundary
Types of Plate Boundaries
1. Convergent Boundary
 Oceanic vs. Oceanic Plate
 Oceanic vs. Continental
Plate
 Continental vs.
Continental Plate
>also known as a destructive plate boundary (because
of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or
more) tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move
toward one another and collide.
Divergent Boundary
> also known as a constructive
boundary or an extensional boundary
> Divergent boundaries occur along
spreading centers where plates are
moving apart and a new crust is
created by magma pushing up from the
mantle.
Divergent Boundary
Oceanic Plate
Continental Plate
3. Transform-fault Boundary :
>is formed when two plates are sliding past each other. It
is also called the Strike-slip fault. Rocks that line the
boundary split into pieces as the plates slip at each other.
A crack is then formed creating an undersea canyon or
linear fault valley.
>also known as a conservative plate boundary, since
these faults neither create nor destroy lithosphere)
>most transform fault are found on the ocean floor. They
commonly offset active spreading ridges, producing zig-
zag plate margins, and are generally defined by shallow
earthquakes.
Directions: Use a separate sheet of paper for your answers. Write
the correct word/s from the choices inside the parenthesis to
complete the sentence in each given item.
1. Pacific plate and Nazca plate formed _______________
(convergent, divergent) boundary.
2. San Andreas Fault is a transform fault boundary found in
___________ (South American plate, North American plate).
3. Philippine plate moves toward _______________ (Australian
plate, Eurasian plate) at the convergent boundary.
4. _______________ (Convergent, Divergent) is the type of
boundary between Australian plate and African plate.
5. The type of boundary between Pacific plate and Antarctic plate
is_______________ (convergent, divergent) boundary.
