TECTONIC PLATE BOUNDARIES (remember that oceanic crust is denser than continental crust) For help: http://www2.nature.nps.gov/geology/usgsnps/pltec/pltec3.html#divergent Type of Boundary Transform Divergent (ocean-ocean) Divergent (continent-continent) Convergent (ocean-ocean) Convergent (ocean-continent) Convergent (continent-continent) Movement (sketch) Results in Real World Example Earthquakes San Andres Fault (California) (tsunami if underwater) sea-floor spreading (mid-ocean ridge) rift valley trench island arcs trench volcanic mt inland FOLDED mountains Which of the plate movements above could help bring fossils from deep underground to the surface? Mid-Atlantic Ridge Iceland Red Sea Great Rift Valley (both in Africa) Japan Aleutian Islands (between Russia & Alaska) Mt. St Helens (Cascades), Andes Mountains (South America) Himalayan Mountains (Mt. Everest) --north of India
