2. How will you describe each type of plate boundary?
3. How are the boundaries characterized?
Refer to the illustrations above (Figure A-C)
1. What do the crackers represent?
2. What do the arrows represent?
3. What type of plate boundary is Figure A?
4. What type of plate boundary is Figure B? C?
5. Write a short description of each figured A, B, C)
Answers & Comments
1.The type of plate bounderies are, convergent bounderies, transform bounderies and divergent bounderies.
2. Divergent bounderies -where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. Convergent bounderies -where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another and transform bounderies -where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
3. Convergent boundaries: where two plates are colliding. Subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust. Transform boundaries – where plates slide passed each other. Divergent boundaries – where two plates are moving apart.
1. The graham cracker represents the thin but dense oceanic plate while the foam board represents the thicker but less dense
continental plate.
2. Arrows indicate direction of plate movement,
3. The type of plate boundery Figure A is a Convergent bounderies.
4.The type of plate boundary Figure B and C are, transform and divergent bounderies.
5. Divergent boundaries - where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries -where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. Transform boundaries - where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
