Convergent Boundary: Oceanic Continental

Convergent Boundary: Oceanic Continental

Convergent Boundary

Simulation Setup

• Plate 1: Oceanic
• Plate 2: Draw a continental plate.
• Choose convergent boundary.
• Oceanic-plate is high density.
• Click Pause and turn on earthquake and volcano layers.
• Use the cross-section tool in the simulation to view what happens above and below the surface.
• Click Start.
• Use the +Step, Pause, and -Step to view the interaction both forward and backward in time.

Key Questions to Focus On:

• How do the plates interact when they collide?
• What geological features form at this boundary?
• Where do earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
• What patterns do you notice over time?
