Plate Boundaries

Plate Boundaries. Plate Boundaries. Why do we care about plate boundaries?. Plate Boundaries. Volcanoes and earthquakes most often occur where tectonic plates come together. At plate boundaries, many other geologic features, such as mountains and rift valleys, can also occur.

Plate Tectonics

Plate Tectonics. A lesson designed for 5th graders By: Meri Koski. The theory of plate tectonics is only about 30 years old. It states that the outer layer of Earth (the lithosphere) is broken into 7 plates that move in all different directions and at varying speeds (2-10cm per year).

volcanism

volcanism. Types of volcanoes. Underwater Volcanism!. The formation of underwater volcanoes is very similar to the ones on dry land. The pressure of the magma builds up and when it finds a weak spot on the crust it rips it open and starts an eruption .
