What happens at a convergent tectonic plate boundary?
movement of tectonic plates along a fault
Earthquakes take place where energy is transferred to rock by the motion of tectonic plates.
lava
Two tectonic plates move horizontally past each other on Earth’s surface, forming long fault lines
Hot molten rock that rises through the mantle continues rising as a volcano when there are cracks in Earth’s crust or the cru
car accidents caused by the ground shaking
Two tectonic plates pulls away from one another, forming a rift or ridge.
Two tectonic plates collide with one another, causing subduction and/or mountain building.
Matthew was learning about the layers of Earth in his science class. When he learned that under Earth’s crust is an enormous amount of hot molten rock, he wondered why volcanoes do not occur everywhere more frequently. If hot rock rises, why don’t vo
