|
|
Transform Boundary
|
Are where two plates are sliding past one another which makes earthquakes.
|
|
Divergent Boundary
|
New crust is created as one or more plates pull away from each other.
|
|
Convergent Boundary
|
Crust is destroyed and recycled back into the interior of the Earth as one plate dives under another. There are three types, oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, continental-continental.
