Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: tectonic plate boundaries and forces worksheet

▼

- Convergent (continental - continental): Plates collide head-on; mountains form (e.g., Himalayas); compressional force
- Convergent (continental - oceanic): Oceanic plate subducts under continental plate; trenches, volcanoes, and earthquakes occur; compressional force
- Divergent: Plates move apart; mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys form; tensional force
- Transform: Plates slide past each other horizontally; earthquakes occur along faults; shear force

Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of plate tectonic worksheet.
