Plate boundaries

• How does a constructive plate boundary move?

  • Away from eachother
  • Magma from the mantle rises to make new crust/volcanoes
• How does a destructive plate boundary move?

  • Away from eachother (Oceanic + Continental plates)
  • Magma rises through the gap in the continental plate to form volcanoes
• How does a convergent plate boundary move?

  • Towards eachother (Continental + Continental plates)
  • Land rises
• How does a conservative plate boundary move?

  • Slide past eachother (Opposite directions/Same direction at different speeds)
  • Edges aren't smooth and can lock together
• What hazards are found at a constructive plate boundary?

  • Not violent earthquakes
  • Not violent shield volcanoes
• What hazard is found at a destructive plate boundary?

  • Violent volcanoes
• What hazard is found at a convergent plate boundary?

  • Earthquakes
• What hazard is found at a conservative plate boundary?

  • Violent earthquakes
