Visit the Interactive Plate Boundary Map to explore satellite images of convergent boundaries between oceanic and continental plates. Two locations are marked to show this type of plate boundary - the Cascade volcanoes along the Washington-Oregon coast of North America and the Andes mountain range on...
Previous studies of plate dynamics suggest that, at consuming plate boundaries, driving forces (negative buoyancy) acting on the slab are counterbalanced by viscous forces, proportional to the consumption velocity and resisting the downgoing motion into the mantle. New observations on the geometry of ...
Convergent plate boundaries, often calleddestructive plate boundaries, are regions where two or more tectonic plates collide. This collision leads to a variety of dramatic geological events, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains and deep ocean trenches. Convergent Bound...

The coexistence of divergent (spreading ridge) and convergent (subduction zone) plate boundaries at which lithosphere is respectively generated and destroyed is the hallmark of plate tectonics. Here, we document temporally- and spatially-associated Neoar
Plate boundaries are created by the interactions of different tectonic plates, which are large pieces of the Earth's crust. There are three types of plate boundaries, divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. Divergent Plate Boundaries Divergent boundaries are formed when plates move away from...
1- Create a map in ArcGIS Online that displays the tectonic plate boundaries and label them to identify the type of boundaries that exist: divergent, convergent and transform. 2 - Filter the Tectonic Plate Boundary Types layer by each type. Do you notice a pattern? Undo the filter when yo...
