PLATE BOUNDARIES

Watch this video if you want to know a bit more about plate tectonics, the different types of plate boundaries and all the processes involved and related to them.

TECTONICS OF THE PLANET EARTH

The border between two tectonic plates is called a boundary. All the tectonic plates are constantly moving around the planet, but in many different directions and very slowly. 

Some are moving toward each other, some are moving apart, and some are sliding past each other. Because of these differences, tectonic plate boundaries are grouped into three types:

• Convergent Boundary: two plates are pushing towards each other
• Divergent Boundary: two plates are moving apart from each other 
•  
• Transform Boundary: two plates slide past each other
