Match the following

• where new crust is generated as the plates pull away or separates from each other.

• Transform

• where crust come together. One crust is destroyed as it dives under another, known as subduction.

• Tectonic Plates

• huge broken pieces of the lithosphere.

• Convergent

• where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

• Divergent
