 Theory that explains the formation, movement, and subduction of lithospheric plates  Lithospheric plates: glide as a unit over the mantle and interact with other plates at their boundaries

 Divergent: plates move apart  Convergent: plates move toward each other  Transform fault: lateral movement

Plate Boundary Type of Movement Effect on Lithosphere Geologic Process Divergent Convergent Transform fault
