**Plates Boundaries:**
The movement of the plates create three types of tectonic boundary's; **convergent**, **divergent**, and **transform**.


 * **__//Convergent boundary//__**- A plate collides with or dives under another. Where plates serving landmasses collide the crust crumples and buckles into mountain ranges.
 * **__//Divergent boundary//__**- magma rises and pushes plates apart. 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//__**- two plates grind against each other. The san Andreas fault in california is and example of a transform boundary, where two plates grind past each other along what are called strike slip faults.

Plate's Area:
The African and Eurasian plates are both part of a big divergent boundary. The Antartic plate is also part of a decently big divergent plate. The Australian plate is part of a convergent plate. Europe and Africa have activity of transform plates.
