Different type of boundaries
divergent boundaries
where plates move apart
the space between the two plates widens and become a large crack or rift
East African Great Rift Valley is an example
Seaflor spreading:
if the two plates are under the ocean, magma rises up from Earth's mantle and fills the space.
Mid-Atlantic Ridge is an example
transform boundaries
where plates slide past one another
when the plates move the result is the building up the pressure
sometimes the result is an earthquake
San Andreas Fault is an example
convergent boundaries
Where plates collide
when plates collide somethings happen:
Subducton zone:
one of the plate will dive under the other plate
this creates more pressure that, with a high heat, causes the crust to melt forming magma
the '' Ring of Fire'' is an example
the rock above the boundary will be lifted up or folded in form mountains
the impact can be quick and violent, fast movement and slipping of land can result in earthquakes
