__Transform Boundries__- The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of transform boundries. transform boundries occur when plates grind past each other. These Boundries do not create oceans or mountains but they often cause earth quakes. an example is san fransico in 1906. Along with many other earhtquakes tht have occured in that area.



__Divergent Boundries-__ divergent boundries in the oceans, magma form deep in the Earth's rises and pushes apart plates creating a seam where volcanos and mountains form. An example of divergent boundrie is a single mid ocean ridge system that connects the world's oceans, making it the longest mountain range in the world. this action happens when two or moreplates go apart from eachother making cracks in the earth...another example is the great rift valley in Africa.

__Convergent Boundries-__ This is where plates serving landmasses collide, the crust crumples and buckles into mountain ranges such as Mount. Everest which is the highest mountain range on earth which was caused about 50 millin years ago when the indian and eurasian plated collided. Another example of a Convergent Boundary is the rocky mountain ranges. http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/earth/the-dynamic-earth/plate-tectonics-article.html
