Tectonic Lithospheric Plate Boundaries You have learned that lithospheric plates move due to convection, slab pulling and ridge pushing –basically gravity and heat. You have also categorized many different mountains according to their shape. Let’s find out how these shapes came to be. _________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ o _____________________________________ _____________________________________ Tectonic Lithospheric Plate Boundaries Convergent – two plates push into each other o _____________________________________ _____________________________________ o _____________________________________ o _____________________________________ ____________________________________ _____________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ Interact with pages 108 and 109.

Use the outline provided to focus your reading. Tectonic Lithospheric Plate Boundaries Convergent – two plates push into each other o Continental/Continental crust pushed up o Continental/Oceanic oceanic plate slides under continental plate subduction zone o Oceanic/Oceanic one plate slides under the other very similar to the Continental/Oceanic convergence Divergent – two plates move away from each other o where new oceanic lithosphere forms o mid ocean ridges are the most common o they can be found on continents Transform – two plates slide past each other o San Andreas Fault, CA is a good example o The grinding and jerking cause earthquakes.
