## INTERACTIONS AT PLATE ### Acknowledgements and Attributions **Images:** * **Slide 8:** Adapted from: Image by Ikluft/CC BY-SA 4.0 * **Slide 9:** Adapted from: Image by Alataristarion, Eric Gaba (Sting - fr:Sting)/CC BY-SA 4.0 * **Slide 14:** Image by Alataristarion/CC BY-SA 4.0/label added Labelled images used under licence from Shutterstock.com. *** ### What do we know? * **Converge** - Plates move towards each other and collide. * **Diverge** - Plates move away from each other. * **Transform** - Plates move sideways past each other. **The Boundaries:** * **Convergent** - Where plates collide * **Divergent** - Where plates move apart * **Transform** - Where plates slide past each other **We know there was so much excitement happening under our feet!** * Magma also forms convection currents that help move the plates along. * **What is a convection current?** A circular motion, slowly pulling the plate with it. **Surface cooled into solid rock, forming the lithosphere.** ### **ELEMENT STANDARDS** **Year 9** Use language effectively involved in tectonic plate movement including slab pull, ridge push and convection. ### Divergent * **W**: Plates move together. * **X**: Plates move apart. * **Y**: Plates move apart. * **Z**: Plates grind past. ### Convergent * **W**: Plates move apart. * **X**: Plates grind past. * **Y**: Plates move together. * **Z**: Plates move apart. ### Transform * **W**: Plates grind past. * **X**: Plates move together. * **Y**: Plates grind past. * **Z**: Plates move together. **A**: row W **B**: row X **C**: row Y **D**: row Z ### Match the boundary types to the statements below: * **A**: Divergent and transform boundaries * **B**: Crust creation and destruction * **C**: Continental and oceanic crust * **D**: Gravity and heat **A**: Divergent and transform boundaries **B**: Crust creation and destruction **C**: Continental and oceanic crust **D**: Gravity and heat
