TOPICS AND DEFINITIONS

Convergent Boundary

Divergent Boundary

Transform Boundary

Subduction Zones

Tsunami

CONVERGENT BOUNDARY

When two plates meet with each other (come toward) and

creates trench, mountain and volcanoes.

CONVERGENT-REAL

WORLD EXAMPLE

Caption and Cause /effect

This volcano recently

erupted in Japan in 2014.

This happened because of

the continental and oceanic

came toward each other. The

effect of that is volcano

eruption.

CONVERGENT-REAL WORLD

EXAMPLE

Caption and Cause /effect

This mountain is Himalayas

mountain in India. This

mountain formed million years

ago. This happened because of

continental and continental meet

together and the land rises up.

The effect of that is mountain

formed.

DIVERGENT BOUNDARY

Divergent boundary move when two plates mover apart and

creates rift valley and mid oceanic ridge.

Continental-Continental

(Rift valley)

When the two continental plates

move apart, plates can make a

valley. Same like with the

continental, the plates go up and

up and make mountain.

DIVERGENT FEATURES

Oceanic- Oceanic

(Mid-Oceanic Ridge)

When oceanic two plates move,

ocean can push the other ocean

and goes under ground and

become new oceanic crust. This is

called a ridge or underwater

mountain.

DIVERGENT-REAL WORLD

EXAMPLE

Caption and Cause /effect

This valley is in Pakistan. It is

called Kaghan Valley. The two

plates of earth move apart

and create rift valley.

Continental and Continental

move apart and make a valley.

TRANSFORM BOUNDARY

When two plates slide past each other and it creates earthquake

and Tsunami.

TRANSFORM REAL

WORLD EXAMPLE

This earth quake happened in

Pakistan in 2014. This was

very dangerous. This

happened because the land

slide past each other.

Continental and continental

moved sideways.

SUBDUCTION ZONE

The place where two lithospheric plate come together, one sliding

over the other.

SUBDUCTION ZONE REAL WORLD

EXAMPLE

Cause and Effect

While the oceanic crust is more

dense than the continental

crust, the oceanic will sub duct

(go under) under the

continental and create trenches

and volcanoes.

TSUNAMI

a long high sea wave caused by an earthquake and that wave is

super strong.

TSUNAMI REAL WORLD

EXAMPLE

Caption/Cause and effect

This was happened in 2011 in

Japan . Tsunami is because of

the movement under the

oceanic crust and cause huge

or gigantic wave to bring

massive damages and

destruction.
