  • Slide 4
  • Here is the deepest part of the ocean which two plate collided which resulted in one sub ducting under the other In this case it is the pacific (oceanic) and the Eurasian(continental) Marianas/ Trench http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5D3VkGkU5Dw
  • Slide 5
  • Two oceanic plates collide and one sub ducts, then debris and materials will reach the surface then forming volcanic island strings Called Island Arcs Japan
  • Slide 6
  • Islands that are filled with shield volcanoes Formed by hot spots in the pacific plate The pacific plate would carry the island away and another would come up in its place Hawaii http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1eibbfAEVk
  • Slide 7
  • volcanoes in an arc in North America Subduction in the Cascadia Subduction zone Juan de Fuca and the Pacific are responsible for this Pacific NW Cascade volcanoes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HJ8pWEWYuM
  • Slide 8
  • A large continental transform fault line Where two plates slide past each other Pacific plate and the North American are at work San Andreas Fault http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxPTLmg0ZCw
  • Slide 9
  • This is result of two plates (oceanic and continental) subducting underneath one another Nazca and South American are the ones causing this Peru-Chile Trench
  • Slide 10
  • This is divergence of different plates Also part of the longest mountain range in the world but it is underneath water Eurasian Plate North American Plate, Goes through Iceland causing some volcanic action Mid Atlantic Ridge, Iceland
  • Slide 11
  • This area is where plates diverge Here the Arabian and the African plate are moving away from each other African Rift Valley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDWAPd46Q7A
  • Slide 12
  • This is an example of convergence in my homeland The Indian plate and the Eurasian plate both continental hit each other creating fold mountains because of the compressing of everything Himalayan Mountains
  • Slide 13
  • small volcanic islands, forming part of the Aleutian Arc Pacific plate is plunging under the North American plate, rather than grinding against it The material come to the surface and form a volcanic arc Aleutian Islands
  • Slide 14
  • Convergence happens here and the Between the Australian-Indian plate and the Eurasian Java Trench
