Study Notes

Plate Boundaries and Landforms

Plate boundaries are areas where the Earth's lithosphere is broken into smaller segments due to convection currents in the mantle.
There are three types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent, and transform fault boundaries.

Convergent Plate Boundaries

Convergent boundaries occur when two plates move towards each other.
Examples of convergent boundaries include:
Two oceanic plates converging (e.g., subduction of one plate under the other)
Oceanic-continental plate convergence (e.g., subduction of oceanic plate under continental plate)
Two continental plates converging (e.g., collision zone, mountain ranges)
Processes that occur at convergent boundaries:
Subduction: denser plate sinks into the mantle, forming magma, and eventually volcanic islands or mountains.
Formation of trenches: a crack in the Earth's surface formed by the converging plates.
Earthquakes: shaking of the ground due to the movement of plates.
Tsunamis: large ocean waves caused by the displacement of water due to plate convergence.

Divergent Plate Boundaries

Divergent boundaries occur when two plates move apart from each other.
Examples of divergent boundaries include:
Mid-ocean ridges: new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises to the surface and cools.
Rift valleys: elongated depressions formed by the stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust.
Processes that occur at divergent boundaries:
Seafloor spreading: new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises to the surface and cools.
Formation of rift valleys: elongated depressions formed by the stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust.

Transform Fault Boundaries

Transform fault boundaries occur when two plates slide past each other horizontally.
Example of a transform fault boundary: the San Andreas Fault.
Processes that occur at transform fault boundaries:
Earthquakes: shaking of the ground due to the movement of plates.
Formation of faults: a crack in the Earth's surface formed by the sliding of plates.
