What are three types of motion that occur at plate boundaries?

Answer 1

The interaction areas between tectonic plates are called boundaries. There are three types of boundaries:

1. Transform--where plates essentially grind past each other with no subduction.
2. Convergent--where plates collide. Oceanic plate to oceanic plate convergence will result in the more dense plate subducting under the less dense plate.
3. Divergent--where plates move apart. The major diverging plates are located at the mid-ocean ridge system where melting material from the asthenosphere fills in the separating plate zone, creating new crust.

Answer 2

Different types of motion that occur at plate boundaries cause different landforms. Plates can divide, divide or go over the top of the other one.

Answer 3

Plates interact in 3 ways at plate boundaries. Plates will move apart, rub against each other in opposing directions, or will push into each other.
