Earth's Changing Surface

What types of events can occur at divergent plate boundaries?

What Is Deposition?

Where the less dense plate (oceanic crust) sinks under the denser (oceanic) plate.

Identify the local scale changes.

Do plate tectonics/plate boundaries move?

States that Earth's surface is made of rigid slabs of rocks, or plates that move in respect to each other.

What is Erosion

Mountain ranges in the middle of the ocean.

Identify the global scale changes

Which plate boundary is this?

Where two tectonic plates separate or move away from each other.

All of these may cause erosion except

A circulation of material caused by the differences in temperature and density.

Mechanical/Physical or Chemical Weathering

At which plate boundaries can Earthquakes occur?

What types of events can occur at convergent plate boundaries?

What is weathering?

The cold and rigid outermost layer of Earth.

Which plate boundary is this?

Which plate boundary is this?

Tectonic plates can have:

What type of event can occur at a transform plate boundary

Where two tectonic plates collide or move towards each other.

Where two tectonic plates slide past each other.

How does erosion happen?
