PLATE TECTONICS:
Type of Plate Boundaries
• Plates rigid sections of the lithosphere that move
as a unit.
• The movement of the plate is called Tectonic.
• Plate Boundaries are the lines at the edges of
the different pieces of the lithosphere.
• Plate tectonic theory explains the surface of
the earth is broken into large and small
lithospheric plates which are moving slowly.
- causing intense geologic activity, such
as earthquakes, volcano, and mountain
building.
• Mantle Convection
- formed by rising hot magma near the
core towards the surface, while cooler
magma near the crust sinks, setting up a
current that causes the plates to move.
Type of Plate Boundaries
1. Convergent (destructive) Boundaries - two plates
are colliding. Subduction zones occur when one or
both tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust.
The denser plate is subducted underneath the less
dense plate. The plate being forced under is
eventually melted and destroyed.
Type of Convergent Boundaries
i. Where oceanic crust meets ocean crust
(oceanic – oceanic)
-Island arcs and oceanic trenches occur when both
plates are made of oceanic crust. Zones of active seafloor
spreading can also occur behind the island arc, known as
back-arc basins. These are often associated with
submarine volcanoes.
Type of Convergent Boundaries
ii. Where oceanic crust meets continental crust
(oceanic – continental)
- The denser oceanic plate is subducted, often
forming a mountain range on the continent. The
Andes is an example of this type of collision.
Type of Convergent Boundaries
iii. Where continental crust meets continental crust
(continental– continental)
-Both continental crusts are too light to subduct, so
a continent-continent collision occurs, creating
especially large mountain ranges. The most spectacular
example of this is the Himalayas.
Type of Plate Boundaries
2. Divergent (Constructive) Boundaries- –two plates
are moving apart. The space created can also fill
with new crustal material sourced from molten
magma that forms below. Divergent boundaries
can form within continents but will eventually
open and become ocean basins.
Type of Divergent Boundaries
i. On land
Divergent boundaries within continents
initially produce rifts, which produce rift valleys.
ii. Under the sea
The most active divergent plate boundaries are
between oceanic plates and are often called mid-
oceanic ridges.
Type of Plate Boundaries
3. Transform boundaries – plates slide passed each
other. The relative motion of the plates is horizontal. They
can occur underwater or on land, and crust is neither
destroyed nor created. Because of friction, the plates
cannot simply glide past each other. Rather, stress builds
up in both plates and when it exceeds the threshold of
the rocks, the energy is released – causing earthquakes.
