The three types of plate movements are Diverging, Converging, and Transform.
- Diverging: The tectonic plates move away from each other resulting in the formation of rift valleys and ocean floors.
- Converging: This happens when two continental, or two oceanic, or one continental and one oceanic plate collide with each other. This forms mountains and island arcs.
- Transform: When two plates move past each other in a horizontal direction, a transform boundary is formed. These create faults and are the cause of earthquakes.
