Plate Tectonics “Building Up and Tearing Down” Divergent Plate Boundaries Divergent Plate Boundaries are where the plates are moving (Drifting) apart. Mid-Ocean Ridge Mid-Ocean Ridge Iceland Rift Valley Great Rift Valley Convergent Plate Boundaries Convergent Plate Boundaries are where the plates are colliding (coming together). Subduction Zone Crater Lake (Near Bend, OR) Folded Mountains Himalayan Mountains Island Arcs Aleutian Islands (AK) Transform (Fault) Plate Boundaries Transform (Fault) Plate Boundaries are where the plates are sliding past each other. (Like two trains going past each other, I know it’s a stretch). San Andreas Fault Earth’s Tectonic Plates Plate Movement Plate Movement Plate Movement (ScienceSaurus 185) Plate Movement Model Lab Big Idea (Inquiry 15.1) Plate tectonics lead to formation of land and landforms as well as the destruction of crust. It is important to know which landforms are created at which types of plate boundaries. There are some interactive websites that are helpful with this topic.
