__**Convergent Plate Boundary**__


 * Where the plates serving land masses collide, and the crust crumples into mountain ranges.
 * Also, Convergent Plates occur where thee plate of the ocean dives, process called subduction (A land mass)
 * 55 million years ago, India and Asia had crashed, they slowly gave a rise to the Himalaya mountains
 * When there's a diving plate that melts it often spews out in volcanic eruptions
 * Ocean-Ocean Convergences- Are plates that dives beneath the other, forming deep trenches which can lead to underwater volcanoes

__**Divergent Plate Boundary**__
 * Magma from deep in the Earth's mantle rises toward the surface and pushes apart two or more plates
 * This renews the ocean floor and widens the giant basins
 * Single mid-ocean ridge system connects the world's oceans, which makes the ridges the longest mountain in the world
 * On land, Giant Troughs (Great Rift Valley) in Africa are formed when plates are tugged apart
 * If the plates are continued to diverge millions of years Eastern Africa will split apart
 * The mid-ocean ridge would mark the boundary between the plates

__Transform Plate Boundary__
 * In San Andrea's Fault in Cal. is an example of Transform Plate Boundary
 * It's two plates grind past each other along the strike-slip faults
 * Transform Pates don't produce spectacular features like mountains or oceans
 * The halting motion often triggers large earthquakes
 * The year 1906, San Francisco, they had a devastated earthquake
