"Plate Tectonics (Convergent Boundary)" Swiggity Swag Science © 2015 Music by Salt ‘N Peppa “Push It” Oooh, Plate tectonics convergent boundary Oooh, Plate tectonics convergent boundary OK Let’s talk about when two plates collide It’s called a convergent bound-a-ry These Tectonic plates They come together There’s two types of crust it’s now or never they push they shove and then they thrust - yeah But wait – First type – it’s oceanic It’s dense It’s thin And It’s still being made That’s right - oceanic it’s mostly basaltic Yo, Mr. R, What comes next? Check this out: New crust type - continental Facts you need to know And they’re not incidental It’s thick - less dense And it’s dry land Continental’s our home Let’s give it a hand Oooh, plate tectonics convergent boundary Oooh, plate tectonics Mountain building Let’s talk Himalayan mountains form From convergent plates Thick continental crust Are pushed up from the thrust Indian plate drives north Bringing Asian mountains forth Yo, baby, yo Should we see a volcano? YOLO Ain’t no subduction So no, baby, no Plates push together the mountains get higher Beware an earthquake! collisions will make Oooh, plate tectonics convergent boundary Oooh, plate tectonics We see subduction Oh yeah, we’re At a subduction zone where I see two plates meet Oceanic crust it’s pushed down melting from the heat (it’s hot down there!) The liquid rock will rise Forms a volcanic mountain See magma come up like a lava fountain Under the sea A deep-sea trench is formed very deep it can be As you have been warned Mariana trench it’s one to discuss At near 7 miles down Water pressure will crush Subduct this! Oooh, plate tectonics convergent boundary Oooh, plate tectonics We see subduction Oooh, plate tectonics Mountain building Oooh, plate tectonics Plate tectonics
