Destructive, Constructive, Collision and Conservative
1 of 8
Describe what happens at a destructive plate boundary
The denser oceanic crust subducts under the continental plate into the mantle and destroyed.
2 of 8
Name the features of a destructive plate boundary (Continental vs Oceanic)
Earthquake, Volcano, Ocean trench, Fold mountain
3 of 8
Describe a collision boundary
Two continental crusts smash into each other, buckling the ground up, which creates fold mountains
4 of 8
What are the features of a constructive plate boundary?
Volcano, Ocean ridge
5 of 8
What is a conservative plate boundary?
Two plates moving alongside each other either in different directions or in the same direction at different speeds. The friction built up is eventually released which causes earthquakes.
6 of 8
What is the epicenter of an earthquake?
Where the earthquake happens on the surface
7 of 8
What is the focus?
Where the plates release their energy
