Study Notes

Types of Plate Movement

  • Divergent motion occurs when two plates move away from each other, resulting in the creation of new crust.
  • Convergent motion is associated with the formation of mountain ranges, where two plates collide and push against each other.
  • Transform motion involves one tectonic plate sliding past another horizontally, without creating or destroying crust.
