Plate boundaries—where the tectonic plates “meet”, there are THREE things that can happen: 1. Divergent boundary= Where two plates are ___________________. More plate is being formed there because of the magma coming up through the crack between the two plates. *Usually happens on the sea floor and is also called a Ridge. Ridge 2. Convergent boundary= Where two plates are coming together. -3 types: A. ______________________________ B. ______________________________ C. ______________________________ *In A&B above, the oceanic crust gets subducted, or sucked down below, the other crust to form a _______________. *At a continental-continental convergent boundary- Mountain ranges form. 3. Transform boundary is the third type of boundary. The ________ slips by each other at these boundaries. *See pg. 459. These are also known as ____________. _____________- happen at convergent boundaries where subduction happens. __________________- happen mostly at transform boundaries, but can happen at all three types of boundaries. Now…grab 2 other partners, and a cup of playdoh. Show each of these type of plate boundaries using playdoh. Your assignment (for points) is to email me pictures of a divergent boundary, a convergent boundary, and a transform boundary, using the playdoh. My email address is on the board. I only need one email (of 3 pictures) per group, but you need to list your group members in the “text” of your email, so I can properly assign points in JMC.
