3. What causes the tectonic plates to move in many different directions?

• It is due to the movement of the convection currents in the magma.

9. Check the boxes of landforms and events that DO NOT occur at a divergent boundary.

• mountains on land

• Mt. Everest grow because of two plates moving away from each other.

• Mt. Everest grow because of two plates moving towards each other.

• Mt. Everest grow because of two plates sliding past each other.
