types+of+plate+boundaries

=The plate boundaries= =[|plate boundaries website]= **1. Subduction **  A. oceanic plate collides with continental plate ex. Andes Mts. of S. America  B. oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate creating volcanic island arcs  ex. Japan Philippines Indonesia etc.** Felsic Lavas ** - explosive  **2. Spreading ** or **Divergent Boundaries **  Two plates moving apart with new crust being formed between them - Sea Floor Spreading  ex. Mid Ocean Ridge Iceland being split apart with new land being formed in the middle  analogy: putting a leaf in the table to make it larger for company.  **Mafic Lavas ** - lava plateaus - Shield Volcanoes - Fissures  make sure you understand the diagram on page 174 <span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">3. Continental Collision **<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> two continental plates collide and "pile up" ex. Himalayas <span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">4. Sliding **<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">or**<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif';"> Lateral Boundaries ** <span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> two or more plates slide past one another ex. San Andreas Fault in California <span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">
