What happens when two plates DIVERGE?

• One plate dips underneath the other into the mantle

• New crust and Mid Ocean Ridges are formed

• Earthquakes occur and fault lines are made

• Plates start to erode

What are DIVERGING plates?

• Two plates that come together and collide to for mountains

• Two plates that come together and one dips under the other

• Two plates that run past each other to create fault ines

• Two plates that pull apart from each other and make new crust

What happens at TRANSFORM boundaries?

• Nothing moves

• Two plates run past each other and create earthquakes and faults

• Two plates converge together and make mountains

• One plate dips under another while they're converging

What happens when an OCEANIC plate and CONTINENTAL plate collide?

• Subduction

• Earthquakes

• Faults

• Mid ocean ridges

Example of divergent boundary between two continental plates.

• Mid-Atlantic Ridge (Atlantic Ocean)

• Andes Mountains (S. America)

• East Africa Rift Valley

• None of the above
