  1. Convergent boundary – 3 types

  2. Ocean-continentconvergent boundary Plate of oceanic crust collides with plate of continental crust. Oceanic crust is subducted (goes under) continental plate.

  3. Ocean-ocean convergent boundary Two oceanic crust plates collide. Older, denser plate usually subducts, site of Island Arc formation.

  4. Continent-continent convergent boundaryOROGENESIS

  5. Plate Tectonics explains • chains of volcanic islands • Hot Spots

  6. Lithospheric Plates Carry Continents and Oceans.

  7. Earthquakes Tend to Occur at Plate Boundaries.
