**//__
 * There are to types of Convergent bounderies they are Subduction and Collision bounderies.
 * A convergent is when two plates slide twords each other and forces one up and the other down.
 * When this happens on land they form Mountains but when this happens on in the ocean they can form deep trenches like the Mariana in the North Pacific Ocean.
 * The Himalayas are a type of this boundery.[[image:himalaya1.jpg caption="The Himalayas"]]
 * The Indian Plate has collided with the Eurasian Continental Plate to form the Himalaya Mountains.
 * When two plates collide together and form is a type of collision.
 * But when one plomets below the other it is said to be subducting which is a form of subduction.
 * When a plate subducts it may melt and and form lava.

//**__Transforms__ **//  //**
 * Is when to plates grid against each other.
 * The San Andreas fault in CA is an example of a Transforming plate. The southwest part of CA is on the Pacific Plate and is moving Northwest and the rest of CA in on the North American Plate which is moving southeast.
 * The San Andreas fault moves 5 cm's a year.
 * This boundary does not make mountain or trenchs but can make devestating earthquakes.
 * There is also a fault in Turkey.
 * //__Divergent__
 * These plates move away from each other.
 * Divergent bounderies are also called spreading centers.
 * When these plates move away from each other magma rises and helps push the plates apart.
 * Most divergent bounderies lie along the ocean floor.
 * The Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific are two type of Divergent Bounderies.
