CONVERGENT BOUNDARIES [[image:convergent4.jpg]]

 * ==Crust crumbles, forms mountain ranges ==
 * ==55 million years ago, India & Asia collided and formed the Himalayans ==
 * ==Also formed Mount Everest ==
 * ==Also occurs when a plate of ocean dives, called subduction ==
 * ==Diving plates go under the other ==
 * ==The diving plate melts and becomes lava as it comes out the volcano ==

TRANSFORM BOUNDARIES [[image:transform3.jpg width="640" height="384"]]

 * ==Plates grind past each other ==
 * ==Called strike-slip faults ==
 * ==San Andreas fault ==
 * ==Don't produce mountains or oceans ==
 * ==Often triggers earthquakes ==
