PRESENTATION OUTLINE

PLATE TECTONICS

BY: ANDRES CASTILLO; QUINTIN ZARSE; JACOB BEILER

Ingredients
• gram cracker acted as the crust
• the chocolate syrup was the asthenosphere
• The fluff acted as the mantle

CONVERGENT

  • Mountains form from large scale movements
  • This happens because of volcanic activity
  • Other then things can form a mountain
  • Indian Plate forms mountains is a example

THIS IS LANDFORM

OF CONVERGENT

DIVERGENT SUBDUCTION

  • Upper most layer of the mantle
  • Two plates move apart and form new oceanic crust
  • A key recourse for subduction zone is high pressurized metamorphic rock
  • East African Rift is a example

THIS IS A LANDFORM

OF DIVERGENT SUBDUCTION

TRANSFORM

  • Transform boundaries offset divergent plate boundaries
  • They are only type of strike-slip
  • The relative motion is sinistral, dextral, and horizontal
  • San Andreas fault line is an example

THIS IS A LANDFORM

OF TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARIES

CONVERGENT OCEANIC

  • Causes volcanoes because of subduction
  • Causes melting in the mantle
  • Mid- ocean ridge is when hot mantle materials up wells in a convention cell
  • Washington Oregon coastline is an example

THIS IS A LANFORM

OF CONVERGENT OCEANIC
