1. TECTONIC LANDSCAPES
PLATE BOUNDARIES

2. SPECIFICATION DETAIL
• 3.1c The characteristic features of convergent,
divergent and conservative plate boundaries.

3. LEARNING OBJECTIVE
• To be able to draw cross section diagrams
of each plate boundary.
• Annotated the diagrams to explain the
processes.

4. KNOW THE BOUNDARIES
The tectonic plates are
moving in different
directions.
The movements have
different effects on the
landscape of the Earth.
Plates that are moving in opposite directions form a
constructive boundary.
Plates that move towards each other form either a
destructive boundary or a collision boundary.
Plates sliding by each other form a conservative boundary.
Can you name one example of each of the
different boundary types?
