The three types of crustal plate movements are convergent (plates move towards each other), divergent (plates move away from each other), and transform (plates slide past each other horizontally). These movements are driven by the interactions of tectonic plates at plate boundaries.
The seven crustal plates are African Plate, Antarctic Plate, Australian Plate, Eurasian Plate, North American Plate, South American Plate, and Pacific Plate.

Crustal features like mountains, rift valleys, and ocean trenches are directly related to plate tectonics. These features are created by the movement of tectonic plates, which can collide, separate, or slide past each other. The interactions between these plates result in the deformation and creation of various crustal features.
Convergent plate boundaries, where two tectonic plates move towards each other, can cause mountains to form. The collision and compression of the plates can lead to the uplift of crustal rocks and the formation of mountain ranges.
The crustal plates are in constant motion, there is no last movement
A crustal plate is a large rigid slab of solid rock that forms the outermost layer of the Earth's surface. These plates float on top of the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them and interact with each other at their boundaries, causing phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
