Plate boundries
Constructive (divergent)
This is when the continental plates move away from each other. The magma then forces the ends of the plates to move up making a dome shape which is called ridges. The magma then is squeezed into the gap which forms new land.
Destructive (subduction)
This is when an oceanic plate (denser and newer) moves towards and below a continental plate (less dense and older). This can form a deep-sea trench. The oceanic plate is then melted by the friction which the magma then flows through the fault lines to form volcanoes. The subduction zone (when they lock and release) can also cause earthquakes.
Destructive (collision)
The two continental plates moves towards each other which then makes the plates crumple upwards to form fold mountains.
Conservative
This is when two continental plates either move past or the same way. The plates can sometimes stick together which can cause tension to form and when this tension is released, an earthquake can occur, the longer the tension is there the larger the earthquake.

Effects and responses
Responses
Short term - this is the response like right after or a few days after, e.g. saving people, giving food out, search and rescue.
Long term - a response which goes on for months and sometimes years, e.g. rebuilding buildings, supplying food/water and reconstructing roads.
Effects
Primary - Is like the actual disaster, e.g. earthquake, the ground is shaking, volcano, buildings collapse
Secondary - What happens right after the primary effect, e.g. gas pipes ruptured because of earthquake, people die, no medic coming through as roads are damaged
