Essential Question:How does the constant movement of lithospheric plates cause major
geological events on the earth’s surface?
Standard:S6E5e. Recognize that lithospheric plates
constantly move and cause major geological events on the earth’s surface.

When plates move, they can interact in several ways:
• They can move toward each other • They can pull apart from each other• They can slide alongside one another
The result of plate movement can be seen at plate boundaries.

Divergent Plate Boundary: Continental Plate Continental Plate
When two continental plates spread apart rifts (cracks) begin. Magma can rise and squeeze
between the cracks sometimes forming volcanoes.

Divergent Plate Boundary:Oceanic Plate Oceanic Plate
When two oceanic plates spread apart magma is forced upward
pushing the older seafloor away in opposite directions forming a ridge.

Convergent Plate Boundary:Oceanic Continental
• The denser oceanic plate subducts (goes down), under the continental plate into the mantle.
• A deep sea trench is created where one plate bends and sinks.
• High temperatures cause rock to melt around the subducting plate as it goes under the other plate
• Newly formed magma is forced upward along these plate boundaries, forming volcanoes.

Model a Convergent Boundary with subduction:
• Place your hands in front of you with your palms facing the floor as shown in the picture.
• Push your left hand slightly under your right hand.
• This motion demonstrates what happens when one plate slides under the other.

Earthquakes are common at these convergent boundaries, but volcanoes do not form because
there is no, or little, subduction.

Convergent Plate Boundary:Oceanic Oceanic
• A colder, older, denser oceanic plate subducts (goes down), under another oceanic plate into the mantle.
• A deep sea trench is created where one plate bends and sinks.
• High temperatures cause rock to melt around the subducting plate as it goes under the other plate
• Newly formed magma is forced upward along these plate boundaries, forming volcanoes.
• Over millions of years, erupted lava piles up until it rises above sea level to form volcanic islands.

Sometimes volcanic islands form due to the movement of lithospheric plates
over hot spots.

Transform Boundary• Plates move in opposite directions or in the
same direction at different rates• When one plate slips past another plate
suddenly, earthquakes occur• These plate boundaries do not destroy or build
up Earth’s crust.

Based on what you have learned so far, what causes the
lithospheric plates to move?
Convection Currents in the Mantle

![Page 41: Essential Question: How does the constant movement of lithospheric plates cause major geological events on the earth’s surface? Standard: S6E5e. Recognize.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697c01c1a28abf838ccfe92/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Convection Currents in the Mantle cause lithospheric plates
to move. As the plates move, they interact. These interactions
produce many geological features and events.
