The Earth's crust is separated into different plates. These plate move causing plate tectonics, which is the movement of Earth's crust. Also, the plates have boundaries at the end of each plate.
There are three types of plate boundaries...
1. Divergent- where two plates are moving away from each other forming a gap in the crust in which magma rises and hardens forming new crust.
2. Convergent- Where two plates are coming into one another and one is forced down into the mantle.
3. Transform- Where no crust is destroyed/created because the two plates just slide past each other.
