different plate boundaries - Coggle Diagram

- - - - For example, the oceanic Philippine Plate and Pacific Plate converge, forming the Mariana Trench and Mariana Islands. Guam, a nearby island, also commonly experiences earthquakes.
  - - - For example, the Indian and the Eurasian plates converge, forming the Himalayan fold mountain range. Earthquakes occur frequently, such as the 2015 Nepal earthquake.
  - - - For example, the continental South American and the oceanic Nazca plates converge, forming the Andes Fold Mountain Range, the Peru-Chile Trench and the Nevado Del Ruiz volcano. Earthquakes also occur commonly, such as the 2010 Chile earthquake.
- - - - For example, the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate diverge to form the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. At the centre of the ridge is a deep rift valley with steep sides; magma rises through the weak areas in the crust to the surface, forming submarine volcanoes. After many eruptions, they break through the surface, forming volcanic islands.
  - - - For example, the Nubian and Somalian plates move away from each other, forming the Great Rift Valley. There are also many volcanoes nearby, such as Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro.
