Question image

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

1

Subversion Plate Motion

2

Convergent Plate Motion

3

Fractured Plate Motion

4

Divergent Plate Motion

3

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.

4

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).
