What happends to the crust at a Convergent boundary?

Answer 1

They undergo extension, tear in two and move away from each other.

^ is wrong...

Real answer: Normal falts form. Earthquakes occure, and streams and rivers flow in the cracks. Forming new lakes as a result.

^is the right answer.

Answer 2

At a divergent plate boundary, the crust is growing from the solidification of molten material that is rising from the mantle. As the plates on either side of the DPB are moving away from each other, the void is filled by hot, buoyant new crust.

Answer 3

Divergence occurs due to extensional or tensile stress. This leads to the formation of normal faults. If the extensional stress is maintained then tensile strain will continue leading to the formation of horst and graben structures and if this continues the formation of a rift valley. Ultimately this can lead to the formation of a new mid ocean ridge.

Answer 4

At a convergent boundary, the crust is often pushed together and forced to subduct beneath the other crust. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, volcanic arcs, and deep ocean trenches. The crust can also experience intense pressure and heat, causing melting and the formation of magma.

Answer 5

a way to remember convergent boundaries are: c is for crashes which is the same letter....

Answer 6

it may be a tsunami, a huge giant wave.
