The teeth along the convergent boundaries mark the upper side, which is overriding the other side. The convergent boundaries correspond tosubduction zoneswhere an oceanic plate is involved. Where two continental plates collide, neither is dense enough to subduct below the other. Instead, the crust ...
Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and the formation of oceanic trenches occur along these plate boundaries. The lateral relative movement of the plates typically varies from zero to 100 mm annually. Tectonic plates of the earth (Wikipedia) ...

When two tectonic plates slowly move away from each other it creates a divergent boundary. As this happens, magma rises from the Earth’s mantle into the widening gap between the plates. When it reaches the surface it forms solid rock, creating new crust material. Divergent plate boundaries of...
Building upon previous work, we present a global plate motion model with continuously closing plate boundaries ranging from the early Devonian at 410 Ma to present day.We analyse the model in terms of surface kinematics and predicted lower mantle structure. The magnitude of global plate speeds has...

What are the 4 types of plate boundary? There are four types of plate boundaries: Divergent boundaries — where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries — where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. ...
