- Plate Margins
- Destructive (platwes move towards each other)
- Collision
- continental + continental
- Fold Mountains
- Afican and Eurasian (Alps)
- Subduction
- Oceanic + continental plates
- Ocenic = denser = sinks beneath
- Oceanic crust = forms magma = volcano some distance away
- Philippines and Pacific
- Collision
- Constructive
- PLates move away from each other
- Usually Oceaqnic plates = Ocean trenches
- The gap where there is no solid crust forms volcanoes as mage rushes up
- North America and Eurasian
- PLates move away from each other
- Earthquakes
- Conservative
- PLtes slide plast each other or at different speed
- PLates tend to get stuck and the pressure is realeased to form earthquake
- North America and Pacific (San Andreas Fault)
- PLtes slide plast each other or at different speed
- Destructive (platwes move towards each other)
