    Plate Boundary LA Sheet

    Uploaded by

    At a destructive boundary, oceanic plates are pushed under continental plates, melting from Earth's heat. Volcanoes form from the melting plate. Earthquakes occur where the plates meet. At a collision boundary, continental plates fold into mountains as they meet, also creating earthquakes. A constructive boundary has plates moving apart, where molten magma pushes up to form volcanic islands. At a conservative boundary, continental plates slide past each other but get stuck, building pressure until an earthquake is released.

    Plate Boundary Key words to use Picture

    The Destructive Boundary.

    At this boundary the plates that cover the oceans are pushed under the Earthquake Oceans meet
    continental plates. The dipping plate starts to melt because of the high melt
    temperatures inside the Earth. Where the plate melts volcanoes form.
    Also an earthquake occurs where they meet.

    Collision Boundary.

    At this boundary two continental type plates meet. This causes them to
    fold up into mountains. As they meet they also create an earthquake. continental fold
    earthquake

    A Constructive Boundary.

    This is a where the two plates move away from each other. Molten rock known volcanoes away centre
    as magma pushes its way up from the centre of the Earth. This creates an island molten
    of volcanoes.

    A Conservative Boundary.
    Pressure earthquake slide
    At this boundary two continental plates meet. They slide past each other, but continental
    one plate gets stuck. When the pressure builds up on is released and an
    earthqueake is created
