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.
