Dynamic Earth

The different plate boundries are,
 * Divergant- Magma rises and pushes plates apart.
 * Convergent - A plate collides with or dives under another.
 * Transform- Two plates grind against each other.

If a Divergant boundrey were to happen it would be two plates push up through the crust of earth. This would cause a volcanoe to form on earths surface causing the magma to shoot out and forming lava.

If a Convergent plate boundary were to happen it would cause two plates to hit each other and one dive under another. This would make a rouge wave if this happened under the ocean or sea causing flooding.

If a Transform boundary were to happen it would cause the two plates to grind agianst each other. Sort of like if you were to grind two pieces of sandpaper together. It will cause an earthquake. This is why California has so many earthquakes because it sits on a Transform Boundary.
