The movement of tectonic plates causes earthquakes. There are three types of plate movement. The first is Divergent Boundaries (pulling apart), Covergent Boundaries (coming together), and Transform Boundaries. When these boundaries move, huge amounts of energy are unleashed. This results in tremors that can change the Earth's surface.
- the colliding plate(converging)boundary is the movements of plates towards each other that causes the formation of trenches....
- the strike-slip(transforming)boundary is the movement of plates side-ward that causes the deformation of land forms.......
- the spreading (diverging)boundary is the movement of plates away from each other that causes to the formation of ridges and rift in the ocean and mountain or hills in the land.......

Which of the three types of plate movement provided some evidence and supported Wegener's theory?
Convergence ,divergence and shear movement
What are the three categories or types of landforms?
Landforms can usually be divided into three types. Erosional: created by the weathering and movement of material away from its original location; depositional: formed from the deposition of eroded material; and tectonic: formed from the movement of the lithosphere by plate tectonics.
What are three types of convergent boundary movements and formations?
1. Continent plate/sea floor plate subduction 2. sea floor plate/sea floor plate subduction 3. strike/slip movement
What are three plate motions?
There are actually 4 types.....1.convergent-two plates pushing toward each other2.divergent-Two plates moving apart3.subduction-one plate is pulled under the edge of another4.Transform\lateral-Two plates slide past each other

Divergent. Convergent. Transform.
What are the types of movement between plates?
There are three basic plate movement types, first there is convergent movement. Secondly, there is divergent movement and lastly there is transform movements.
