Plate Boundaries Map Exercise How to identify Convergent
Plate Boundaries Map Exercise How to identify Convergent, Divergent, or Transform boundaries
Volcanology
Convergent Boundary: Ocean - Ocean • Volcanoes in tight line, parallel to plate boundary • Island Arc • Subducting Plate • Overriding plates VOLCANOLOGY
Convergent Boundary: Ocean - Continent • Same as O-O • Arc shape not as prominent Nazca Plate South American Plate Antarctic Plate VOLCANOLOGY
Convergent Boundary: Continent - Continent Little or no volcanic activity Eurasian Plate Indian Plate VOLCANOLOGY
Volcanic Activity at Divergent Plate Boundaries **not shown on this map**
Transform Boundary Ra Vo ndom lca no es VOLCANOLOGY
O-O Convergent Boundary (subducting)- Earthquakes
O-C Convergent Boundary - Earthquakes
Divergent Boundary - Earthquakes Shallow Earthquakes Directly on the Boundary
Transform Boundary - Earthquakes Shallow Diffuse (spread-out)
Geochronology: Sea Floor Age
New Ocean Floor shows a DIVERGENT boundary
Convergent Boundaries: Inconsistent Seafloor Age
Transform Boundaries: Inconsistent Seafloor Age
GEOLOGY: Shows Elevation
Geography: Convergent Boundary on a deep trench next to islands
Geography: Convergent Boundary on a deep trench next to islands
Geography: Convergent Boundary Andes Mountains u Trench u Mountain Range
Geography: Divergent Boundary Seafloor Mountain Range
Geography: Transform Boundary Inconsistent topography (no set pattern)
