10 Questions
What are the three types of tectonic plate boundaries?
Convergent, divergent, and transform
What happens when plates converge?
They either push each other making mountains or subduction occurs and volcanoes form
What happens when plates diverge?
The plates split apart, allowing magma to rise from the mantle below
What happens at transform plate boundaries?
The plates slide past each other
What are the formations and events associated with tectonic plate boundaries?
Mountains, subduction, volcanoes, and magma rising
What are the two things that can happen when tectonic plates converge?
They can push each other making mountains or subduction occurs and then volcanoes form
What happens when tectonic plates diverge?
The plates split apart, allowing magma to rise from the mantle below
What are the formations and events associated with transform plate boundaries?
At transform plate boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other
What are the three types of tectonic plate boundaries?
The three types of tectonic plate boundaries are convergent, divergent, and transform
What happens when tectonic plates slide past each other at transform plate boundaries?
At transform plate boundaries, earthquakes are common
