Plate Boundaries Concept Sketch

50 points

Use the chapters on the Earth’s Interior Processes and Volcanoes as well as the USGS resource Understanding Plate Motions in the Module 2 reading assignments to help you make the following concept map for plate boundaries.

Instructions:

Sketch, label and explain the following plate boundaries. Include an example on Earth of each (be sure to name both plates involved) on your concept sketch:

· Divergent Plate Boundary (oceanic divergent or Mid-ocean ridge)

· Convergent Plate Boundary: continental-oceanic. You will also need to explain the other two types of convergent plate boundaries (continental-continental and oceanic-oceanic) but you do not need to draw them.

· Transform Plate Boundary

Remember, detail is key. You will have three sketches with labels, explanations and examples plus the explanations of the other two types of convergent plate boundaries. Upload your concept map to the drop box provided.
