These are to be given numbers like boundary type 1, boundary type 2, etc. They are not to use plate tectonic terminology. Ask them to write a description of how they identified their plate ...

Whatever drives the movement, plate tectonic activity takes place at four types of boundaries: divergent boundaries, where new crust is formed; convergent boundaries, where crust is consumed ...

Large scale landforms at a destructive plate boundary include super volcanoes, such as the Campi Flegrei volcano in Italy - where the Eurasian plate and the African Atlantic plate are moving ...

Tectonic Basins chart and activity Here is a diagram to help you understand how the tectonic basins are related to plate boundaries: When a diverging boundary begins to open, it creates a narrow ...

A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Mandalay, Myanmar, causing significant damage and fatalities. The earthquake, followed by a 6.4 magnitude aftershock, was felt in neighboring Thailand, where a ...

Devastating earthquake in Myanmar reveals tectonic complexities, historical patterns, and potential risks for South Asia.

An earthquake is extremely destructive if it occurs shallow in the Earth's crust and near population centres - Friday's earthquake in Myanmar did both.

Myanmar lies on the boundary between two tectonic plates and is one of the world's most seismically active countries.

At the boundary between these two systems ... the process in which one tectonic plate sinks beneath another into the mantle. But traces of its existence remained hidden in the geological record.
