What are the three types of plate margins? | Destructive, Constuctive and Conservative |
Destructive Plate Margins | -When two plates are moving towards eachother. -Where an oceanic plate meets a continental plate, the denser oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle. This often creates volcanoes and ocean trenches. -Where two continental plates meet, the plates smash together but no crust is destroyed. |
Constructive Margins | -When two plates are moving away from each other. -Magma (molten rock) rises from the mantle to fill the gap and cools. Creating a new crust. |
Conservative Margins | -When two plates are moving sideways past eachother, or are moving the same direction but in different speeds. Crust isn't created or destroyed |

What is the Earth's surface serperated into? | Tectonic Plates |
The centre of the earth | It is called the core and it is a solid ball of iron and nickel |
The Mantle | it is around the core and it's semi- molten rock meaning that it moves very slowly |
The crust | is the outer layer of the earth and it is very thin (about 20km) |
Whats floats on the mantle? | Lots of slabs called tectonic plates which the crust is divided into |
What are the two types of plates? | Oceanic and continental |
Continental crust | thicker and less dense |
Oceanic Crust | thinner and more dense |
How are the plates moving? | because the rock in the mantle underneath them are moving |
What are the places called where plates meet? | Plate boundaries or plate margins |
