About divergent plates. By Shimon

Divergent plates.  When the divergent boundary happens it creates a convection current and it creates a mid-ocean ridge.  An example of this is in the mid-atlantic trench.  Fun fact about divergent plates create valleys.  "Divergent Plate Boundaries." Divergent Plate Boundaries. N.p., n.d. Web. 16 Dec

Divergent plate image.

Convergent.  A convergent boundary happens when a plate and another plate collide and form a mountain.  This happens in Himalaya's.  "Convergent Plate Boundaries." Convergent Plate Boundaries. N.p., n.d. Web. 16 Dec  Fun fact about convergent boundary cause mountains to form.

Transform boundary.   A transform boundary happens when two plates slide next to each other.  This happens in the San andreas fault.  a fun fact about transform boundary is  That they do not create anything or  Or destroy anything.

Hot spot.  A hot spot happens hot spot are when magma rocks melt to make magma.  This happens in Hawaii. 

Fun fact about hot spot is they created Hawaii.

The end  Help by  Ms. Hokinson  Victor  Google  Zeeke
