= Divergent Boundaries =

Divergent boundaries is where new crust is formed as two plates draw away from each other. The best example is the great crack in hawaii. The island is on two plates that is pulling the island apart forming th egreat crack a chunk of the island is going to fall off. Then as it pulles apart more lava takes it place.



= Convergent boundaries =

Convergant Boundaries is the proces when plates collide and the crust crumples and buckles into mountain ranges from the excess lava flowing and pushing up. One example is the Himalayas. India crashed into china causing india to get pushed under to form the mountains we know today.



= Transform Boundaries = Transform Boundaries is when two plates rub past eachother creating earth quakes. A good example is the San Andreas fault line in CA. They are always having earth quakes and the town has almost been destroyed by one before.
