What types of boundaries have subduction zones?
Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.
How do divergent boundaries of oceanic crust form islands?
Collisions of plates
Compare and contrast the three plate boundaries?
Oceanic-continental convergence (when an oceanic plate meets a continental plate) & oceanic-oceanic convergence (2 oceanic plates) both involve oceanic plates & subduction. Continental-continental convergence (2 continental plates) involves neither.
What are divergent boundaries?
Divergent boundaries are areas where continental or oceanic plates are moving away from each other and creating new crust. Examples would be the Mid-Oceanic Ridge and the East African Rift Zone.
What are the types of divergent boundaries?
The 3 general types are constructive, destructive, and conservative boundaries. Constructive (divergent) - plates move away from each other, typically creating a rift Destructive (convergent) - one plate will be subducted, or continental plates collide Conservative (transform) - plates grind past each other, stalling and slipping
Where do oceanic and continetal plates meet?
At plate boundaries.
How are divergent plates different from convergent plates?
Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart
What types of boundaries have subduction zones?
Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.
What feature forms at diverging oceanic plates?
Ridges of buoyant oceanic crust form at diverging oceanic plate boundaries.

Is true or false oceanic lithosphere is created at divergent boundaries?
Yes; at divergent/constructive boundaries, plates move apart and new oceanic lithosphere forms.

What types of tectonic plate boundaries are volcanoes generally found?
Continental and Oceanic plates.
Convergent boundaries can be divided into 3 categories what are these categories and what geological feature are created by each?
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
