Study Notes
Plate Boundaries
- Tectonic plates meet at plate margins.
- Two types of crust: continental and oceanic.
- Continental crust is older, thicker, and less dense than oceanic crust.
- Oceanic crust is younger, thinner, and denser than continental crust.
Types of Plate Boundaries
- Destructive plate boundary is where two plates collide.
- Constructive plate boundary is where two plates move apart.
- Conservative plate boundary is where two plates slide past each other.
