Plate Tectonic Review

Plate Tectonic Review

Multiple Select

There are two plate motions that we have been studying- what are they?

• Subversion Plate Motion

• Convergent Plate Motion

• Fractured Plate Motion

• Divergent Plate Motion

Convergent Plate Motion at the Mantle

Plates collide, causing one plate to be pushed down into the mantle and the other to fold into what is sometimes known as a subduction zone. Convergent boundaries are responsible for volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

Divergent Plate Motion at the Mantle

Plates are forced apart while magma is pushed up and out to create new seafloor sometimes known as mid-ocean ridges (or under water volcanoes).
