1. Obj. 4: Explain the differences between divergent, convergent and transform plate boundaries The plates of the lithosphere move in directions relative to each other The points at which the plates meet are called plate boundaries **Be sure to refer to your diagrams for the plate boundaries

2. See also page 248 in textbook

3. Divergent Boundary Plates are moving away from each other Magma rises between the plates creating new oceanic crust

4. Convergent Boundary Plates are moving towards each other Creates subduction zones Destroys crust due to melting, deforms due to squishing 3 types of convergent boundaries

5. Transform Fault Boundary also called a Strike-Slip Fault Plates sliding past each other Deforms crust due to friction Can create other small fractures (faults) Results in earthquakes Ex. San Andreas Fault in California
