Dynamic Earth

The earth has many different plates the one plate is that the plate makes up earths outer shell called lithosphere it is like the crust of the earth.Then Magma rises and pushes most of the plates apart.

Divergent Boundaries

The Divergent Plate is sea -floor spreading and some examples are Mid - Atlantic Ridge and another one is East Pacific Rise. Some of the Divergent boudarys surround the Caribbean plate, the South American plate, and one more is the Eurasian plate. It also surrounds much more plates. The African plate is approximately 1/2 land mass with a Divergent Plate Boundary on the west edge running up throught the red. And it also surrounds Pacific Plate, One more that it surrounds is the Australian Plate it is in the middle of surrounding Nazca Plate and the Cocos plate.



Convergent Boundaries

The convergent plate is ocean-Continent Collision subduction some current examples are Islands of Indonesia and another example is mariana isalnd It dosent really surround anything on the map. This Plate collides with or divides under another plate.



Transform Boundaries

Transform boundary is when two plates grind Aganist one another.Somethimes these plates also pass one another. Some current examples of this plate is San Andreas Fault, North Anatolian Fault (Turkey) One more is the Fracture zones along mid-Ocean ridges.Transform boundaries surround the Australian, it also surrounds the Pacific plate, then there is another one that is like right next to it so they are both right next to one another but they both surround the same exact thing the Pacific Plate.
