Vertical Force
Vertical Force is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 1: Plate Motion and Vertical Movement in Amplify Science (California) Grade 7.
Key Concepts
While plates drift horizontally, their collisions generate powerful vertical forces . When massive slabs of rock crash together, they cannot simply occupy the same space; the rock is forced either upward or downward.
This mechanical action creates two distinct directions for rock travel: uplift (pushing toward the surface) and subduction (pulling toward the core). Before a rock can transform, it must first be moved physically into a new position by these immense tectonic forces.
