- Plate movements
- Constructive
- Two plates moving TOWARDS each other. When an oceanic plate meets a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle and destoryed.
- Destructive
- Two plates moving AWAY from each other. Magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap and cools, creating new crust.
- Consertative
- Plates move in similar direction but DIFFERENT SPEEDS. Tension builds up between the plates the released in earthquake seismic waves
- Collision
- When two continental plates of the same destiny move toward each other neither will sink. So, they squeeze upward, creating mountain ranges.
- Constructive
- Volcano- only destructive and constructive
- Earthquake- all three plate movements
