PLATE TECTONICS- Due to the internal heat of the earth , the currents of the semi-molten rocks move towards the crust , an tear it apart , dividing it into large fragments which are called tectonic plates.
THERE ARE BASICALLY THREE TYPES OF PLATES:-
1 Divergent- When the plates move away from each other , the movement is known as divergent movement
2 Convergent- When the plates come towards each other , the movement is known as convergent movement.
3 Transform Fault- Plates slide past each other , scraping and deforming as they pass.
