6th (6.10D - Plate Tectonics/Geological Events) Part 1

A divergent boundary is when...

• two plates get pushed towards each other

• two plates overlap each other

• two plated are being digested

• two plates are getting pushed apart

A transform boundary is when ____.

• two plates slide past each other horizontally.

• two plates come apart from each other

• two plates come together

• two plates slide through each other vertically

What 3 different ways can tectonic plates move?

• up, down, sideways

• they can slide past one another (transform); pull apart from one another (diverge); come together or collide (converge)

• they can drop past one another; pull together from one another (diverge); come apart (converge)

• they can move fast, slow, or really fast
