Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can describe what happens at plate boundaries, including the tectonic hazards that occur.

Show transcript
There are four main types of plate boundary: conservative, constructive, collision and destructive. At a conservative plate boundary, the tectonic plates move past each other, causing earthquakes. At a constructive plate boundary, the tectonic plates move apart, causing volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. At collision plate boundaries, plates move together, causing earthquakes. At destructive plate boundaries, plates move together, causing volcanoes and earthquakes.
