Plate Tectonics and Internal Processes flowcharts

12 flowcharts by 12 users

This page gathers a small set of community-made flowcharts on plate boundaries, convection currents and volcanoes. Most are at secondary-school level, for school students studying plate movement and teachers looking for material on the topic. Pick a flowchart to follow the processes step by step.

Plate tectonics and internal processes flowcharts

These flowcharts show sequences and connections in the unit. Plate Boundary Formations links mantle convection to plates moving apart, while Convection Currents follows the movement of hotter mantle material. Subduction Volcanoes connects subduction with melting and rising magma.

How to study with a flowchart

Start with Plate Boundary Formations if you want to follow one boundary process from the movement of plates to rising magma. Read each step in order, then cover the chart and try to recall the sequence. Return to the chart to check any steps you missed.

For an example, the flowchart on the Japan earthquake looks at plate movement, friction and tension. When you want to check an answer or review a term, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the unit page. Choose a flowchart that matches the process you are studying.

Frequently asked questions

Which flowchart is a good place to start?

Plate Boundary Formations is a useful starting point for studying constructive plate boundaries. It follows a sequence from convection currents to plates moving apart and magma rising. Convection Currents is another option if you want to focus on the movement of hotter mantle material.

What topics do these flowcharts cover?

The flowcharts cover plate boundaries, convection currents, subduction volcanoes and the Japan earthquake. You can also find material on the Earth's interior, continental drift and landscape processes. They vary in focus, so the titles and previews can help you choose one that matches your topic.

Are the flowcharts free to use?

Yes. Every flowchart listed here is free to open and study without an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users, rather than by GoConqr. A free account also lets you create your own flowcharts and other study resources, and save quiz scores.
