1

Divergent plate boundaries occur where tectonic plates . At these boundaries , magma rises to push plates away from one another . Under the ocean , the magma breaks through the thin ocean floor , creating new crust through . The extruding lava in the ocean will instantly harden into formations called . Over time , underwater mountain ranges build up called . In Iceland , the spreading is visible at the surface , with rift zones and mountains . East Africa shows a where the land has sunken , and over time may develop new lakes and seas as plates further diverge . Both of these processes often involve and reshapes the earth's surface .

2

Convergent plate boundaries occur where tectonic plates into each other . Sometimes this happens with ocean crust hitting continental crust ( O - C ) , ocean crust hitting ocean crust ( ) or continental crust hitting continental crust ( C - C ) . Any time an ocean plate is involved , you will find a in the ocean water near the plate boundary . Here the ocean plate is sinking back into the asthenosphere and melting down in a process called . When it is an O - C convergent boundary , like the Andes Mountains , the continental plate will develop mountains that are volcanic . But when the interaction is O - O , then an will develop above the melting tectonic plate . C - C convergent boundaries are different in that they will not be . A good example of this is the Himalayan Mountain range . Because there is no subduction , there will not be . The mountains are mountains and all of these convergent boundaries are known for strong activity .

3

Transform plate boundaries occur where two tectonic plates each other . This scraping process is called and can generate much activity . An example of this plate boundary can be found in California at the San Andreas Fault . At the surface , you will see large visible . Rivers , fences and rows of crops may become as the plates lurch forward along the boundary . But because no happens here , you will not find volcanoes .
