This type of boundary has plates moving past each other.

• convergent

• transform

• divergent

• earthquake

This type of plate boundary causes one plate to move over another plate.

• convergent

• divergent

• transform

• subduction

When a plate is subducted, (pushed down into the Earth), it

• it hardens

• it melts

• its material is lost forever

• comes up on the other side of the planet
