Other times they pull apart or bump each other. There is a boundary line where the two plates meet. Boundaries have different names depending on how the two plates are moving with each other. If they are crashing against each other they are Convergent Boundaries. If they are pulling apart from each other they are called Divergent Boundaries. If they are bumping or sideswiping each other they are transform boundaries. Convergent boundaries occur when two plates slide towards each other. They can also

Introduction to Geology GEOL-101 Midterm 1 Review Based on the textbook: Understanding Earth‚ 6th Edition‚ by Grotzinger and Press CH 1: earth system Summary The human creative process‚ field and lab observations‚ and experiments help geoscientists formulate testable hypotheses (models) for how the Earth works and its history. A hypothesis is a tentative explanation focusing attention on plausible features and relationships of a working model. If a testable hypothesis is confirmed by a large

Highly Dynamic Markets For many businesses‚ the competitive landscape is dramatically changing due to convergence--a process by which the boundaries across industries or businesses or markets or geographies or customer experiences become blurred‚ resulting in new business opportunities to serve customer needs and improve customer value. To manage in a convergent economy‚ executives must understand the key drivers of a broader concept of convergence as well as how to detect and leverage convergence

Plates‚ Boundaries and Zones There are about 30 different plates that glide along the mantle. There are three plate boundaries‚ they are the divergent plate boundaries‚ transform plate boundaries and the convergent plate boundaries. Divergent plates move away from each other and are found in the middle of major oceans. These boundaries help to form underwater volcanoes and create

Plate Tectonics Plate tectonics is the science and study of causes and relative motions of earth’s lithosphere plates. This theory proposes that earth’s outer layer is made up of plates which have moved throughout earth’s history. It is the scientific theory that attempts to explain the movements of the Earth’s lithosphere that have formed the landscape features seen across the world today. The primary natural hazards facing the islands of the Caribbean are earthquakes and hurricanes. Some of the
