__PLATE BOUNDRIES__

__Transform Boundries__- The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of transform boundries. transform boundries is 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.

__Divergent Boundries-__ divergent boundries in the oceans, magma form deep in the Earth's surface and pushes apart two or more plates. an example of divergent boundries is a single mid ocean ridge system connects the world's oceans, making it the longest mountain range in the world. this action happens when two or moreplates goes apart fromeach other makeing cracks in the earth.

__Convergent Boundries-__ This is where plates serving landmasses collide, the crust crumples and buckles into mountain ranges. Mount Everest is the highest mountain range on the earth. when a plate goes under anotheroften times it mealts and spews out of volcanoes. another example is the rocky mountains.
