THEORY ABOUT PLATE TECTONICS

  • They think gravity pulls one edge of the plate and the rest of it moves to
  • Then they will either collide,pull apart,or grind past each other.
  • When it does that it will change earths surface by creating volcanoes
  • Or mountain ranges or deep ocean trenches

PLATE BOUNDARIES

  • Plate boundaries is where plates meet
  • They move very slowly apart from each other

DIVERGENT BOUNDARIES

  • It is a place where plates move apart
  • When it happens on Earth two of Earths plates move apart

CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES

  • Its where two plates come together or converge
  • When they converge its called a collision

TRANSFORM BOUNDARIES

  • Its where two plates slip past each other going in opposite directions

PLATE MOTIONS OVER TIME

  • When ever plates move it changes Earths surface
  • It has made it change a lot over time
