Convention Currents
The movement of fluid caused by differences in the temperature in the fluid.

SLAB PULL
A PULLING FORCE EXERTED BY A PLATE GOING INTO THE MANTLE
RIDGE PUSH
FORCE OF MAGMA PUSHING ON EDGES OF PLATES FORCING THEM APART
DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY
PLATE BOUNDARY WHERE TWO PLATES MOVE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER
On land divergent plate boundaries form rift valleys.
In the ocean, divergent plate boundaries form a mid ocean ridge.
CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY
PLATE BOUNDARY WHERE TWO PLATES MOVE TOWARD EACH OTHER
When ocean and continental crust converge they form volcanic arcs like Mount St. Helens.
When ocean and ocean crust converge they form volcanic island arcs like the Aleutian Islands and Islands of Japan

When continental crust converges with continental crust it forms mountains like the Himalayas.

SUBDUCTION ZONE
ZONE WHERE TECTONIC PLATES COLLIDE AND ONE SINKS BELOW ANOTHER
Deep ocean trench
A trench made by crust forming at an ocean ridge while the lithosphere is subducted back into the asthenosphere to form trenches.
TRANSFORM PLATE BOUNDARY
THE PROCESS OF TWO PLATES SLIDING PAST EACH OTHER.
When plates move along transform boundaries, it causes earthquakes

An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California
