Theory of Plate Boundaries by Tylor McCoon
Types of Boundaries
Divergent
Convection Cells in the Mantle are pulling the plates apart
Plates moving away at the Mid Ocean Ridge.
Convergent
Can be broken down into subduction zones and mountain building
Subduction Zones
Oceanic and Continental plates are colliding and the denser plate is sliding under
Mountain Building
The two Continental plates with the same density are colliding and they are both getting uplifted and creating a mountain
Volcanos
Transform
Plates are sliding past each other
Elastic Rebound
Tectonic Plates
Continental
Less Dense
Old
Segments of Crust above water
Consists of granite rock
Some of the rocks that consist of it are 3.8 billion years old
Oceanic
Thin
Dense
Segments of crust beneath the Earth's Crust
Younger than 100 million rears old
Mostly basalt rock
