Tectonic Boundaries Flashcards
What is a divergent boundary also known as
Rift zone, Rift Valley, mid ocean ridge
What is a transform boundary also known as
Strike slip fault
3 types of convergent boundaries
Cont/cont
Cont/oceanic
Oceanic/oceanic
What 4 things happen at convergent boundaries
Subduction, volcanoes, folded mountains, ocean trenches
What 5 things happen at divergent boundaries
Volcanoes, rift valleys, rift zones, mid ocean ridge, fault block mountains
What 2 things happen at transform boundaries
Earthquakes, strike slip faults
In convergent boundaries what happens to the crust
Some crust destroyed
In transform boundaries what happens to the crust
Crust is neither created or destroyed
In divergent boundaries what happens to the crust
Crust is created
Example of oceanic continental convergent boundary
Aleutian Islands in Alaska
