seafloor spreading An active plate margin is an actual plate boundary, where oceanic crust and continental crust crash into each other. Active plate margins are often the site of earthquakes and volcanoes. Oceanic crust created by seafloor spreading in the East Pacific Rise, for instance, may become part of the Ring of Fire, the horseshoe-shaped pattern of volcanoes and earthquake zones around the Pacific ocean basin.

Convergent boundary In a subduction zone, the subducting plate, which is normally a plate with oceanic crust, moves beneath the other plate, which can be made of either oceanic or continental crust. During collisions between two continental plates, large mountain ranges, such as the Himalayas are formed. Oceanic-continental.hen one plate is composed of oceanic lithosphere and the other is composed of continental lithosphere, the denser oceanic plate is subducted, often forming an orogenic belt and associated mountain range. This type of convergent boundary is similar to the Andes or the Cascade Range in North America.

New Ocean Crust May Form Slower Than Thought New crust and the 'mush zone'. Mid-ocean ridges are the boundaries between tectonic plates and are the place where the plates spread apart from each other. Magma from the underlying mantle erupts at the edges, then cools and solidifies to form new ocean crust.

oceanic crust The oldest oceanic crust, within the present ocean basins, is less than 200 million years old; it is found in the W. Pacific and the N. Atlantic, and was formed by igneous activity at spreading (accretionary) plate margins as part of the sea-floor spreading process.

What are the different types of plate tectonic boundaries? If one of the colliding plates is topped with oceanic crust, it is forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into new crust. Magma formed from melting plates solidifies into granite, a light colored, low-density rock that makes up the continents. Thus at convergent boundaries, continental crust, made of granite, is created, and oceanic crust is destroyed. Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary. Natural or human-made structures that cross a transform boundary are offset—split into pieces and carried in opposite directions.

Plate Tectonics Notes 4. Another type of boundary neither creates nor consumes crust. This type of boundary is called a transformation boundary because two plates move against each other, building up tension, then release the tension is a sudden jerk of land called an earthquake. A. The boundary where two plates meet and trenches are formed. Oceanic and continental convergence. B. The plates move away from each other allowing magma to create new ocean crust. Divergent C. The plates move in opposite directions building up tension until they slip causing earthquakes. Transformation

Tectonic Plate Motion The process by which the oceanic crust is pulled under the continental crust is called subduction and the zone at which this occurs at the plate boundaries is called the subduction zone. At the subduction zone where the oceanic crust sinks beneath the continental crust a deep oceanic trench or valley is created. These can be many of thousands of kilometres long and 8 to 10 kilometres deep making them the deepest part of the ocean floor.

- 1 The boundary between two plates can be a divergent boundary, a convergent boundary or a transform boundary. 2  The lithosphere is composed of the crust, and some of the upper mantle. 3  Mature oceanic plate is approximately 80-100 km thick, of which, the upper 5-7 km is oceanic crust. At some convergent boundaries, oceanic plate meets continental plate. 2  An example of this is the west coast of southern Mexico, Central America and South America. 3  An oceanic trench forms offshore, and a chain of volcanic mountains forms just inland of the coast.

The action is at the edges! Divergent plate boundaries. Almost all the Earth's new crust forms at divergent boundaries, but most are not well known because they lie deep beneath the oceans. These are zones where two plates move away from each other, allowing magma from the mantle to rise up and solidify as new crust. Click here to learn more about divergent plate boundaries.

convergent Boundary oceanic-continental convergence. When an Oceanic and a Continental Plate converge the Oceanic Plate sinks underneath the Continental Plate. The area were the plate sinks into the Mantle is called a Subduction zone. Subduction Zones along an Oceanic-Continental boundary create a deep-sea trench.onvergent Boundary. In Plate Tectonics, a Convergent Boundary, also known as a destructive plate boundary because of Subduction. A Convergent Boundary is an actively deforming region where two or more tectonic plates or fragments of the Lithosphere move toward one another and collide.

Tectonic Plates and Plate Boundaries Convergent margins. A subduction zone is formed at a convergent plate boundary when one or both of the tectonic plates is composed of oceanic crust. The denser plate, made of oceanic crust, is subducted underneath the less dense plate, which can be either continental or oceanic crust.

Deep ocean trenches, volcanoes, island arcs, submarine mountain ranges, and fault lines are examples of features that can form along plate tectonic boundaries. The new magma (molten rock) rises and may erupt violently to form volcanoes, often building arcs of islands along the convergent boundary. These island arcs are always landward of the neighboring trenches. When two plates are moving away from each other, we call this a divergent plate boundary.

Ocean basin Illustration of what is happening Landform: MID-OCEAN RIDGE Plate Boundary: DIVERGENT Type of Plates: 2 Oceanic Plates (OP) pull apart How is it formed? Two oceanic plates (OP) move away from each other, allowing magma to rise up from inside the Earth. The magma reaches the bottom of the ocean, turns in to lava and cools (forming new rock). This cycle continues constantly spreading the sea floor and adding new material along this chain of mountains. Sea Floor spreading occurs at these mid-ocean ridges.

- It is the location where new oceanic crust, which is both the material for seafloor spreading and an important source of heat to the Earth's. surface, is formed. At mid-ocean ridges, new crust forms and cracks as it cools and as it spreads away from. the ridge crest. Cold seawater penetrates the warm crust.

What are the different types of plate tectonic boundaries? Thus at convergent boundaries, continental crust, made of granite, is created, and oceanic crust is destroyed. Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary. Natural or human-made structures that cross a transform boundary are offset—split into pieces and carried in opposite directions. Rocks that line the boundary are pulverized as the plates grind along, creating a linear fault valley or undersea canyon.

Oceanic crust Magnetic anomalies. The oceanic crust displays an interesting pattern of magnetic lines, parallel to the ocean ridges, frozen in the basalt. A symmetrical pattern of positive and negative magnetic lines emanates from the mid-ocean ridge. New rock is formed by magma at the mid-ocean ridges, and the ocean floor spreads out from this point. When the magma cools to form rock, its magnetic polarity is aligned with the then-current positions of the magnetic poles of the Earth.

- plate boundaries new oceanic lithosphere is created in the gaps from upwelling magma from the mantle. This upwelling magma forms mid-ocean ridges, long mountain chains that mark the boundaries between diverging plates. The static size of the Earth implies that crust must be destroyed at about the same rate it is being created. Plate tectonics two oceanic plates, an oceanic and continental plate, or between provides the mechanism to recycle the Earth’s crust. Destruction (recycling) of crust takes place along convergent Divergent Margins boundaries where plates are moving toward each other, and
