Boundary
Foldable
Transform Boundary
• Two plates build up pressure and friction then slide past each other causing a fault.
• The shearing often causes earthquakes, but neither plate is destroyed in the sideways motion.
• Example: Pacific and North American Plates = California’s San Andreas Fault.
Divergent BoundaryContinental/ Continental
• New crust forms at rift valleys, where two plates diverge, or pull away from each other.
• This type of boundary is “constructive”, since it builds new materials onto the edges of the plates.
• Example: African and Indo-Australian plates = The Great African Rift Valley.
Divergent BoundaryOceanic/ Oceanic
• New ocean crust forms at rift valleys, where two plates diverge, and builds and forms huge underwater mountains, called mid-ocean ridges.
• For the last 250 million years, the Atlantic ocean has been growing wider as new crust is added to Sea-floor spreading.
• Example: Eurasian and North American Plates= the Mid-Atlantic Ocean Ridge and Iceland.
• When two plates carrying continents run into each other, the collision deforms the leading edge of both plates, creating folded mountains.
• When two continents meet head on, neither is subducted because the continental rocks are relatively the same density.
• Example: Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates = Himalayan Mountains
Convergent Boundarycontinental/ continental
• When two plates collide, destruction of the more dense plate will create a subduction zone, a trench and a volcanic mountain.
• The more dense oceanic plate will bend and slide below the continental plate.
• Example: Nazca and South American Plate the Andes Mountains
Convergent Boundaryoceanic/ continental
• When two oceanic plates collide, destruction of the older plate will create a subduction zone.
• Trenches on the ocean floor are the site where magma rises up to form volcano islands.
• Example: Philippine and Pacific Plate= the island arc of Japan
