Certainly! Here's an organized layout based on the plate boundary types, including the direction of movement, description/features, and examples.
Divergent Plate Boundary
- Drag the Proper Boundary Image: (Image of two tectonic plates moving apart)
- Direction of Movement: Dividing (moving away from each other)
- Description/Features of Plate Boundaries: Characterized by the formation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to the surface. Leads to mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys.
- Examples: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, East African Rift
Transform Plate Boundary
- Drag the Proper Boundary Image: (Image of two tectonic plates sliding past each other)
- Direction of Movement: Sliding past each other (horizontal movement)
- Description/Features of Plate Boundaries: Plates slide laterally against each other, causing friction. This can lead to earthquakes.
- Examples: San Andreas Fault (California), North Anatolian Fault (Turkey)
Convergent Plate Boundary (C-C)
- Drag the Proper Boundary Image: (Image of two tectonic plates colliding)
- Direction of Movement: Collide (moving towards each other)
- Description/Features of Plate Boundaries: Involves the collision of plates, which can lead to the formation of mountains, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
- Examples: Himalayas (India and Eurasian Plate), Andes Mountains (Nazca and South American Plates)
