Mo11-L1b: What Forces Change Earth’s Surface?
Mo11-L1b What Forces Change Earth’s subduction zone
Surface? the area where one plate slides under another plate.
KEY CONCEPTS:
1. How do the forces created by plate motion
change Earth’s surface?
Vocabulary A-Z
Let us learn some vocabulary
convergent boundary compression
the boundary between two plates that move toward the squeezing force at a convergent boundary.
each other.
divergent boundary tension
the boundary between two plates that move away the pulling force at a divergent boundary.
from each other.
transform boundary shear
the boundary between two plates that slide past parallel forces acting in opposite directions at a
each other. transform boundary.
