Question

Explain the three types of plate movements what are the results of plate movements

Answer 1

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

There are four types of plate boundaries:

✨Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.

✨Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.

✨Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

✨Plate boundary zones -- broad belts in which boundaries are not well defined and the effects of plate interaction are unclear.

The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle below the crust.

Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short-term results of this tectonic movement.

The long-term result of plate tectonics is the movement of entire continents over millions of years
