plate tectonics

constructive plate boundary=plate moving apart from each other

collision margin=two plates crash into each other

destructive plate boundary=two plates move towards each other

conservative plate margin=two plates slide past each other

another name for constructive plate boundary=divergent

another name for destructive plate boundary is convergent

another name for conservative plate boundary is plate margin

shield volcano=not very eruptive,lava flows out but goes really far only found at divergent plate boundaries

composite volcano=very eruptive,contains lava and ash,as the lava is thick it does not go really far,found at at convergent plate boundaries

in destructive plate boundaries,the oceanic plate(which is heavier) goes downwards and the plate grinds itself downwards which causes an earthquak. at the same time the rock melt and push themselves upwards forming a volcano

in constructive plate boundary,the plates move apart from each other letting the magma flow through the gap which causes a volcanic eruption

in collision margin,the rocks gets pushed and folded upwards causing an earthquake

in conservative plate boundary,the plates are sliding past each other making them stuck.when they cant take the stress ,they v=become unsteady and causes an earthquake to happen.

conservative=only volcano erupts

destructive =volcano and earthquake happen

conservative =only earthquakes happen

collision margin=only earthquake happen

what is a constructive plate boundary=when two plates move apart from each other

what is a destructive plate boundary=when plates move towards each other

what is a collision margin=when two plate crash into each other

what is a conservative plate margin=when two plates slide paste each other

what is the other name for a constructive plate margin=divergent

what is the other name for a destructive plate boundary=convergent

what is the other name for a conservative plate boundary=plate margin

shield volcanoes=they have only lava,do go that far,found at divergent plate boundaries

composite volcanoes=they have lava and ash,they have thick lava so it does not go really far

in destructive plate boundaries,the oceanic plate , which is heavier, goes under the continental plate which causes an earthquake.but at the same time the rocks get and move upwards causing a volcano

in contstructive plate margins=the plates move apart which allows the magma to go through them causin a volcanic eruption

in collision margin=the plates crash into each other until they cant take the stress wich causes an earthquake

conservative plate margin=the plates slide past each other they get stck until they cant take the stress and then lurch free.this causes an earthquake to happen
