Answer:

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries:

convergent-where plates move into one another

divergent -where plates move apart

transform -where plates move sideways in relation to each other.

The three types of plate movements are Diverging, Converging, and Transform.

  1. Diverging: The tectonic plates move away from each other resulting in the formation of rift valleys and ocean floors.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
