    Processes and Landforms Along Plate Boundaries

    Uploaded by

    Genelyn Pamillaran Apiag
    The document summarizes key processes and landforms associated with different types of plate boundaries. It describes subduction as a process where one plate dives under another, and mantle plumes as columns of rising magma. When plates converge, it can result in trenches, earthquakes, volcanic island arcs, and tsunamis at ocean-continent boundaries. Continental collisions form mountain ranges, while ocean-ocean convergence forms trenches, island arcs, and tsunamis. Divergent boundaries produce rift valleys and oceanic ridges along with shallow earthquakes.

    LANDFORMS
    ALONG PLATE
    BOUNDARIES
    Subduction- is the process by which a plate dives under a less dense plate.

    Mantle plume- column of rising magma

    Collision zone – the point where two plates meet or collide while converging
    Processes and Landforms along
    with CONVERGENCE OF PLATES
    1.CONVERGENCE BETWEEN AN OCEANIC AND
    CONTINENTAL PLATE
    1. Trench – a crack between the crust

    2. Earthquake – shaking of the ground


    caused by lithospheric movement

    3. Volcanic Island arc – group of volcanoes

    4. Tsunami – the water that flips or kick


    upwards to a few meters high. A Japanese
    term for harbor wave.
    CONVERGENCE BETWEEN TWO
    CONTINENTAL PLATES
