They are to use up to five plate boundary type classifications. These are to be given numbers like boundary type 1, boundary type 2, etc. They are not to use plate tectonic terminology.

The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely responsible for ... The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where ...

Whatever drives the movement, plate tectonic activity takes place at four types of boundaries: divergent boundaries, where new crust is formed; convergent boundaries, where crust is consumed ...

When the plate sinks into the mantle it melts to form magma. The pressure of the magma builds up beneath the Earth's surface. The magma escapes through weaknesses in the rock and rises up through ...

There are no volcanoes at this type of boundary as melting of the rock does not occur. An example of this type of boundary is the San Andreas fault, California.

Four types of plate tectonic activity are demonstrated in this feature. Keep an eye on the map to see where in the world the activity takes place. Also known as spreading boundary, a divergent ...

To learn why, where, and how earthquakes happen, you need to familiarize your students with the interior of the Earth and a model called plate tectonics. The engine behind the earthquake machine ...
