Convergent Plate Boundaries Convergent plate boundaries are locations where lithospheric plates are moving towards one another. The plate collisions that occur in these areas can produce earthquakes‚ volcanic activity and crustal deformation. Convergent Plate Boundary – Oceanic-Continental: When continental and oceanic plates collide the thinner and more dense oceanic plate is overridden by the thicker and less dense continental plate. The oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle in a process

200- to 300-word response to the following: * Humans shape their environment in ways that other organisms cannot. Are humans subject to the same pressures of natural selection as other organisms? Why? * Provide an example of convergent and divergent evolution‚ adaptive radiation‚ and co-evolution. Then‚ respond to the following: * Choose one of the examples you provided and discuss the implications this example may have for future humans. * Cite outside sources in APA format

either sink in to the mantle creating subduction zones which occurs at convergent plate margins or move away from each other causing magma to rise and spread this occurs at divergent plate margins. These plate margins create various relief elements such as volcanoes‚ Fold Mountains‚ sea floors and many others. How they do this is not a mystery as at convergent plate margins it’s the rising of magma that creates volcanoes. Convergent plate margin consist or two plates oceanic and continental. The topographic

Lower level questions focus on the cognitive domain levels of knowledge‚ comprehension and application. Higher level questions‚ on the other hand focus on analysis‚ synthesis and evaluation. Some types of questions are: cognitive memory‚ convergent‚ divergent‚ contrast and comparison‚ relationship and cause-and-effect‚ evaluative and analysis and synthesis. Cognitive Memory questions- Cognitive means knowledge‚ so cognitive memory refers to memorized knowledge. Cognitive memory questions tend

critical or creative. The two areas of knowledge I will be addressing are Natural sciences and the arts. The definition of critical thinking is to “judge” and thus implies the use of logical reasoning using convergent thinking. While creative thinking implies the opposite‚ using a divergent approach which will tend to reach a variety of possible results. Creative thinking is “producing” ‚ like producing alternatives and therefore expanding the field of discussion and There is three knowledge issues

is known; convergent thinking- thinking that results in the right answer for a question that has only one correct answer; divergent thinking- thinking in different directions for questions that may have many right answers; and evaluation- reaching a decision about the correctness‚ accuracy‚ or goodness of an answer that has been generated from the previous four operations. In his model Guilford claims that divergent thinking and convergent thinking are the most critical. Using divergent thinking

this rule‚ three plate boundaries are formed. Such as: the collisional or convergent boundaries‚ spreading center or divergent boundaries and transform or conservative boundaries. All the major activities like the eruption of the volcanoes‚ earthquakes‚ oceanic trench and mountain building occur along the plate boundaries. The types of boundaries are described below: • Convergent boundaries- Another name of the convergent boundaries is the destructive boundaries. This kind of boundaries occur

three types of plate boundaries? Transform‚ Divergent‚ Convergent 2. What directions do the plates move relative to one another in a divergent plate boundary? They are pulling away from each other. 2. What is a spreading center and what is made at one? Mid ocean range or submerged mountain range. Volcanos are made here. 3. Name one spreading center (or divergent plate boundary). Mid-Atlantic Ridge. 4. What are the three types of convergent plate boundaries? Oceanic-continental convergence

earthquakes and volcanoes. To begin‚ there are three different types of plate movement; divergent boundaries‚ convergent boundaries‚ and transform boundaries. At a divergent boundary the lithosphere breaks apart on parallel faults that move outward from each other. The plates break apart the block between the two faults sink into the asthenosphere creating a rift and pushing magma upward to fill in the crack. With a convergent boundary the plates move toward each other with one plate subducted under another

types: • • • Divergent boundaries Convergent boundaries Transform boundaries Divergent boundaries form where new oceanic lithosphere is formed and plates diverge. These occur at the mid-ocean ridges. Convergent boundaries form where plates converge. One plate is usually subducted beneath the other at a convergent plate boundary. Convergent boundaries may be of different types‚ depending on the types of lithosphere involved. This results in a wide diversity of basin types formed at convergent boundaries
