Divergent Plate Boundaries Divergent Plate Boundaries are where the plates are moving (Drifting) apart.

Mid-Ocean Ridge

Convergent Plate Boundaries Convergent Plate Boundaries are where the plates are colliding (coming together).

Subduction Zone

Crater Lake (Near Bend, OR)

Folded Mountains Himalayan Mountains

Island Arcs Aleutian Islands (AK)

Transform (Fault) Plate Boundaries Transform (Fault) Plate Boundaries are where the plates are sliding past each other. (Like two trains going past each other, I know it’s a stretch).

Plate Movement (ScienceSaurus 185)

Plate Movement Model Lab Big Idea (Inquiry 15.1) Plate tectonics lead to formation of land and landforms as well as the destruction of crust. It is important to know which landforms are created at which types of plate boundaries. There are some interactive websites that are helpful with this topic.
