What happens at tectonic plate boundaries?

What happens at tectonic plate boundaries?. Three types of plate boundary. Divergent Convergent Transform. Divergent Boundaries. Spreading ridges As plates move apart new material is erupted to fill the gap. Iceland: An example of continental rifting.

Plate Boundary

Plate Boundary. Plate boundaries are found where tectonic plates meet. There are three kinds: Plates move together at convergent boundaries, plates move apart at divergent boundaries, and plates move side-by-side at transform boundaries. Plate Tectonics.

Plate Boundaries

Plate Boundaries. Plate Boundaries. Why do we care about plate boundaries?. Plate Boundaries. Volcanoes and earthquakes most often occur where tectonic plates come together. At plate boundaries, many other geologic features, such as mountains and rift valleys, can also occur.

Plate Tectonics

Plate Tectonics. By Charlotte Prior. History of the Pangaea . The theory of Pangaea is that million of years age all of the continents were joined together that formed one large mass from many different plate tectonics , this theory was originated by Alfred Wegener
