Plate Boundaries Why do we care about plate boundaries Plate Boundaries Volcanoes and earthquakes most often occur where tectonic plates come together At plate boundaries many other geologic features such as mountains and rift valleys can also occur. The Great California . ShakeOut. . Divergent . Boundaries:. Two plates pull . apart. Convergent Boundaries:. Two plates push together. Transform Boundaries:. Two plates slide horizontally against one another. Standard . S6E5.d . Recognize that lithospheric plates constantly move and cause major geological events on the earth’s surface.. What You Will Learn. Describe the three types of tectonic plate boundaries. . Magma expands when heated making volume larger making magma less dense therefore it will __________ to the top of more dense magma . When the magma reaches the surface it cools and contracts becoming _________ _____________ and it will sink.. Chapter 5. The Big Idea. California is located on a plate boundary, where major geologic events occur.. Lesson 1: Interactions at Plate Boundaries.
