PLATE BOUNDARY- their three main types The plates make up Earths outer shell, called the lithosphere. Most geologic activity stems from the interplay where the plates meet or dives.

DIVERGENT BOUNDARY- magma rises and pushes plates apart The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. This particular Boundary is made up between the South American Plate and the African Plate.

CONVERGENT BOUNDARY- a plate collides with or dives under another The boundary between the Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate is a convergent boundary. This boundary is also located over water, specilicly over the Pacific Ocean.

TRANSFORM BOUNDARY- two plates grind against earth other These type of boundary are few and far between. They are most likely a small part of another boundary not a full boundary on its own. The boundary between the Australian Plate and the Antarctic Plate is mainly a divergent, but it also contains sections of transform boundary.
