I HATE GEOGRAPHY (Plate movement)

What is formed by the transform movement of two tectonic plates

The plates slide past each other, causing faults and earthquakes

What is formed by the divergent movement of two oceanic plates?

It causes volcanic islands, oceanic ridges, earthquakes and cracks which cause sea floor spreading,

What is formed by the divergent movement of two continental plates?

Fractures

What is formed by the convergent movement of 2 oceanic plates?

Subduction occurs, which forms a volcanic island. An Oceanic Trench is formed and earthquakes occur.

What is formed by the convergent movement of 2 continental plates?

Earthquakes and Fold mountains occur. No subduction occurs.

What is formed by the convergence of oceanic + continental plates

Oceanic plate subducts, earthquakes, volcanos, fold mountains and oceanic trenches occur

What is one example of a rift valley formed by the divergence of 2 continental plates

The East African Rift Valley was formed by the divergence of the Nubian and Somalian plate

What is one example of the convergence of 2 oceanic plates

Pacific and Philippines plates converged causing the subduction of the Pacific plate beneath the Philippines The Mariana trench and the volcanic islands of the Mariana islands were formed. Guam which was near the Mariana Trench experienced earthquakes.

What is one example of a fold mountain formed by the convergence of 2 continental plates?

India and Eurasian plates converged forming the Himalayas fold mountain range, which also caused earthquakes to occur

What is one example of a fold mountain range formed by the convergence of an oceanic and continental plate?

Andes fold mountain was formed by the convergence of the continental South American Plate and oceanic Nazca plate, which caused earthquakes, subduction of the Nazca plate, an oceanic trench at the Nazca plate and the Nevada Del Ruiz volcano on land.

What is an example of transform plate movement?

When the Pacific plate slid past the North American plate, earthquakes were formed on land and the San Andreas Fault was formed in California in the USA.

What is an example of Divergent plate movement?

When the North American plate moves away from Eurasian plate.
