Two plates moving away from each other |
Divergent
|
|
Two plates moving towards each other
|
Convergent
|
|
Two plates sliding past each other
|
Transform
|
|
A denser ocean plate sliding under a less dense continental plate
|
subduction
|
|
A deep V-shaped landform that results from subduction (a denser ocean plate sliding under a less dense continental plate)
|
trench
|
|
This landform results from 2 continental plates crashing into each other.
This landform also results from the folding of a plate. |
Mountains
|
|
Constructive or Destructive? New land is being created at a mid-ocean ridge
|
Constructive effect at a divergent boundary, it creates new land. |
|
Constructive or Destructive? A plate is pushed into the mantle and becomes molten rock
|
Destructive effect at a convergent boundary subduction zone, the ocean plate is destroyed (melted) in the mantle. |
|
place where 2 plates meet
|
boundary
