3. Convergent Boundaries are plates coming together. There
are three different types of Convergent Boundaries. Ocean-
Ocean forms arcs of islands and strato volcanoes. Ocean-
Continent forms volcanoes and mountain ranges. Continent-
Continent forms huge mountain ranges like the Himalayas in
Nepal.

5. Divergent Boundaries are plates pulling
apart. When Plates diverge, the Earth’s
crust splits apart causing magma to rise
from the mantle, depending if it happens at
sea or land, it forms mid-ocean ridges or rift
valleys.

7. Transform Boundaries are plates sliding past
each other. This boundary releases a cause
of a violent earthquake. The main types of
waves are, P waves, waves that go back
and forth. S waves, waves that go up and
down and L waves, waves that go in all
directions and the most dangerous.

10. A subduction zone is when one plate goes
under another. An oceanic plate goes
down because is more dense (heavier) and
the continental plate goes up because is
lighter. This happens because of
faults, causing the formation of trenches
and volcanoes.

13. An Earthquake is formed by Transform plate
boundary. The earthquake’s first movement
happens in the focus and the epicenter is
the point on Earth’s surface above the
focus and plates move. Earthquakes
happen on land. Thrust/Reverse Fault
causes an upward wave or a Tsunami. A
tsunami is an underwater earthquake,
landslide, or a volcanic eruption.

15. Hot Spots are areas of volcanic activity
from deep under the Earth’s mantle. An
example of a hot spot is Hawaii, an island
made up of volcanoes that are no longer
active.
