Convergent Boundries : Volcanic Activiy?

Yes!

New cards
8

Convergent Boundry Process

Oceanic subducted. -subduction = oceanic crust destroyedContinental crust is forced upward, forming mountains and leading to volcanic activity.

New cards
9

Divergent Boundry Process

Seafloor spreading = oceanic crust created as tectonic plates move apart, magma rises to form new crust.
