Types of Plate Movement

Types of Plate Movement: The tectonic plates move in three different ways at the boundaries between them.

These boundaries are :

  • Diverging boundaries - where the plates are moving apart from each other.
  • Converging boundaries - where the plates are colliding with each other.
  • Transform boundaries  - where the plates are siding past each other.
  •
