Environmental Hazards (Boundaries and Definitions (Constructive Plate…

- - - - When one continental plate and one oceanic plate move towards each other
        
        Forces oceanic under continental at subduction zone, creates a lot of volcanoes and earthquakes
      - Where two oceanic plates move towards one another
        
        The older, and therefore colder and denser, one is forced under the newer, warmer and lighter plate at the subduction zone. This zone is a deep sea trench, such as the Mariana Trench. Volcanoes still form, so underwater mountains occur, as well as earthquakes.
  - - - Generates fold mountains e.g.Himalayas
  - - - Goes with Conservative Plate Boundaries, where no crust is generated or melted. Earthquakes are common.
  - - - Formed by constructive plate boundaries
  - - - Forms include destructive and collision plate boundaries
  - - - E.g. Constructive
