In an advanced society where humans have the highest of immunities and advancements even the past can awe about....
Any questions regarding islands, class?
Yeah, so how exactly are they formed?
It all starts down at the bottom. In a divergent boundary, plates are pulled apart at a rift zone/ mid-ocean ridge by forces occurring in the mantle.
As the plates pull apart, the mantle becomes depressurized and starts to melt. As a result, the melted mantle travels up through the rift zone to the surface, creating a volcano.
Any other questions? If not, let us go to the next geological feature

In front of us, class, is the beautiful Himalayan Mountains of Asia. Isn't it beautiful?
Woahhhhhhhhhh
How did the Himalayan Mountains come to be?
In my hand is a visual of a convergent boundary. Which is what the Himalayans is. In this case, two continental crusts will collide
The upper portion of the continental crust is too buoyant to subduct into the mantle, while the lower part of the crust will subduct
As the two plates collide, the part that is not subducted will be forced to get pushed upward, creating the mountain shape we all know and love
Any further questions? If not, let us go to our last geological feature in San Andreas.
*Snap*
Can you guys sit down????
*Snap*
WERE WATCHING A MOVIE!!!
Sorry class, wrong San Andreas
Here we are at the lovely San Andreas Fault in the beautiful state of California
So why exactly are we here?
The reason I brought you guys here is because the San Andreas Fault is a real life example of a transform boundary.
Plates are neither created or destroyed, but will cause earthquakes.
In a transform boundary, two plates slide past one another, causing a fault between the two plates of the lithosphere.
Okay class, it seems like were experiencing an earthquake. WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW!
*Snap*
*Rumble*
*Rumble*
*Rumble*
WHATS GOING ON!!!!
Luckily, they made it back to their classroom safely. Unfortunately, the state of California has been struck by an earthquake that hit a 7.0 on the Richter Scale, leaving the state in destructionThe End
