What 3 ways to plates move?

Answer 1

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. Oceanic plate to continental plate collision will result in the oceanic plate subducting under the continental plate. Continental plate to continental plate collision will result in uplift, thickening of crust, and creation of mountain chains.
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

1. Divergent boundary: Plates move away from each other, creating new crust as magma rises to fill the gap.
2. Convergent boundary: Plates move towards each other, leading to subduction where one plate is forced beneath the other.
3. Transform boundary: Plates slide past each other horizontally, causing frictional stress and occasionally earthquakes.

Answer 3

1. some slowly pull away from each other

2. some push toward each other

3. some slide past each other.

an i dont remember the last one sry....

Answer 5

There are four ways that plates move. The four ways are divergent boundaries, Subsection zones, orogenic belts and transform boundaries.
