Dynamic Earth

Lithosphere are plates that make up the earths outer shell.

At divergent boundaries in the ocean,magma from deep in the earths mantle rises toward the surface and pushes apart two or more plates.

Transform boundary is where two plates grind past each other along what are called strike-slip faults.

Plates move from a fraction of an inch to about 5 inches a year.
