4 Convergent Continental Plates
Himalayan Mountains formed when the Indian plate converged (rammed) into the Eurasian plate.

6 Divergent Continental Plates

7 Figure 8.19 The Red Sea rift, which separates Africa from Asia, is a major fracture in Earth's crust. This feature, an important part of Earth's rift system, represents the incipient stages of crustal fragmentation and the movement of continental plates. The rift extends up the Red Sea and splits at its northern end, with one branch forming the Gulf of Suez and the other extending up the Gulf of Aqaba, into the Dead Sea, and up the Jordan valley, on the right of the photo. Movement of the Arabian plate in a northeasterly direction, away from Africa, has created a new ocean basin, which is in the initial stage of its formation. As the rift widens, the edges of the continental block break off, forming a series of steps leading down toward the depression. These steplike blocks can be seen along the Gulf of Suez as distinct parallel lines in the bedrock and as linear trends in the offshore islands.
