Convergent Boundries- A plate collides or dives under each other. - Mountain ranges form when overlying plate lifts up. - There is ocean-ocean subduction, ocean continent subduction, and continent-continent collision.**
 * - Himalayas- The Eurasian Continental Plate collided with the Indian Plate to form this mountain.

Transform Boundries- Two plates grinds up against one another. - The San Andreas Fault was created by the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate slid past each other. -The fracture zone that makes up a transform boundry is the Transform fault. -Most of the Transform Faults that are found are found mostly in the ocean basin and the connect offset in the Mid-Atlantic Ridges.



Divergent Boundries- Plates get pushed apart by magma rising. **- The Mid-Atlantic Ridge was created by the Caribbean Plate and the African Plate pushing apart. - You see divergent bondries above rising convection currents.** **-The East Africa Rift Valley is in the early stage of development that has not been completely rifted yet.** Citations- -http://geology.com/nsta/divergent-plate-boundaries.shtml -geology.com -Published-2005-2009 -Looked up information on 11-11-09 -http://geology.com/nsta/transform-plate-boundaries.shtml -geology.com -Published-2005-2009 -Looked up information on 11-11-09 -http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/earth/the-dynamic-earth/plate-tectonics-article.html -national geographic-plate tectonics -Published-1996-2009 -National Geographic Society -Looked up information on 11-06-09
