Organise the items below into their correct category.
Destructive
Constructive
Transform (conservative)
Most earthquakes are fairly gentle
Earthquakes, no volcanoes
New land is created
Runny lava means that volcanoes are effusive rather than explosive
Rift valleys on land
Magma wells up to fill the gap – pillow lava under the ocean
Two plates collide
Explosive volcanoes with sticky lava
Land is destroyed
Two plates move apart
The Pacific Ring of Fire, for example
Fault lines – such as the San Andreas Fault
Plates move in opposite directions, or at different speeds
The denser oceanic plate is subducted and melts
Powerful earthquakes as the crust sticks and pressure builds
