Objectives: ACTIVITY 1 HEAD-ON COLLISION CONVERGING CONTINENTAL PLATE AND OCEANIC PLATE 1. Explain the processes that occur along convergent boundaries 2. Determine the consequences of colliding plates 3. Determine the geologic features / events that occur along these boundaries Study the picture showing a cross-sectional diagram of plates that are converging. Oceanic crust Trench Volcanic arc Lithosphere PLATE A Asthenosphere Continental crust PLATE B Lithosphere Figure 1. Diagram of converging continental and oceanic plates www.ck12.org 1. What type of Plate is Plate A? Plate B? Why do you say so? 2. Describe what happens to Plate A as it collides with Plate B? Why? 3. What do you think may happen to the leading edge of Plate A as it continues to move downward? Why? 4. What do you call this molten material? 5. What is formed on top of Plate B? 6. As the plates continue to grind against each other, what other geologic event could take place?
