Plate margins
Fold mountains
Earthquakes created by fold mountains
Two continental rocks push together
Create an enormous pressure
In this pressure line earthquakes are created
Tsunami created.
Conservative
Enter text here
The two plates slide past eachother
Sometimes the plates stick then suddenly move
This causes an earthquake
Very slow process
Destructive plates
On these boundaries there are often big earthquakes
Sometimes they will create a big tsunami
Eg./ the Indian Ocean tsunami
At this boundary an island arc is usually found, on a mountain range
Constructive margins
When two plates move apart a new crust is developed
Mostly in oceans
They can be found on land
