Exit Check 4.2 - Constructive Forces

The flipbook from today’s notes contains all the key surface features you’ll need to recognize.

Start by identifying whether the boundary is convergent (plates moving toward each other) or divergent (plates moving apart).

Then use your notes to match the correct surface features to the correct one of the 6 types of plate boundaries we discussed.

Look closely at diagrams or wording that hint at motion or crust formation/destruction to help you decide.

Use your flipbook and notes to review how transform boundaries involve two tectonic plates sliding past each other.

This sliding doesn't happen smoothly. Friction builds up until the plates suddenly slip, releasing energy in the form of an earthquake. These breaks in the crust are called faults, and the San Andreas Fault is one of the most well-known examples.

Use the remaining portion of your notes to focus on tectonic uplift and seamounts. While most geologic activity happens at plate boundaries, some features form far from boundaries due to processes like mantle hotspots. These hotspots push magma upward, creating volcanoes or island chains like Hawaii, even though they are in the middle of a plate.

From Unit 2, remember that rising mantle and magma can form new land without needing to be near a plate boundary. Also, tectonic uplift can raise land due to movement within a plate.
