Convergent Boundary

Plates that collide
together and push up
against each other.

Landforms:

Volcanoes, Islands

REAL LIFE LOCATION: Andes Mountains, South America

Multiple Choice

What is a Convergent Boundary?

• Two tectonic plates that drift apart

• Two tectonic plates that collide together

• Two tectonic plates that collide together but one goes under the other

Multiple Choice

What does a convergent boundary create?

• Tsunamis

• Ocean Trenches

• Mountains

Subduction Boundary

Plates that collide
together however one
falls under the other.
Common along beaches.

Landforms:

Ocean Trenches

REAL LIFE LOCATION: Mariana Trench

Multiple Choice

What is a Subduction Boundary?

• Two plates that collide together but one goes under the other.

• Two plates that collide together.

• Two plates that drift apart.

Multiple Choice

What does a Subduction Boundary create?

• Volcanoes

• Rift Valley

• Ocean Trench

Divergent Boundary

Plates are pulling apart
and Magma rises from the
bottom and cools to make
new land in the gap.

Landforms:

Creates new land and
RIFT VALLEYS.

REAL LIFE LOCATION:
Mid-Atlantic Ridge

Multiple Choice

Transform Boundary

The plates pass by
together and they grind
together. As they grind
the snap and tremble
creating earthquakes or
Tsunamis!

REAL LIFE LOCATION: San
Andreas, California

• Earthquakes

Plate Tectonics

India over 61 Million years
COLLIDED with the Eurasian
Plate!
