Study Notes
Crust Characteristics
- Oceanic crust is thinner than continental crust.
- Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust.
Plate Boundaries
- Convergent plate boundaries are formed at a destructive plate boundary, where two plates move towards each other.
- The type of geologic process that occurs along a convergent plate boundary is determined by the nature of the plates involved (oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, or continental-continental).
Geologic Processes
- Possible geologic processes that can occur along a convergent plate boundary include subduction, collision, and volcanic island arc formation.
- Continental rifting is NOT a possible geologic process that can occur along a convergent plate boundary.
