Plate Boundaries Explained

MooMoo Math & Science

Convergent Boundaries: These occur when two tectonic plates collide. Three types exist: continental-continental collisions (forming mountains), continental-oceanic collisions (resulting in volcanoes), and oceanic-oceanic collisions (creating island arcs). Divergent Boundaries: Here, plates move apart, allowing the asthenosphere to rise and melt, forming new crust (oceanic or continental) at mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys.
