Answer:

Push the two graham crackers away from one another and watch the magma. Divergent zones occur on the ocean floor where plates spread apart. When plates slide past one another in this way, they often get caught on one another. When they break free, an earthquake happens.

Explanation:

The Theory of Plate Tectonics states that the crust of the Earth is composed of seven major

plates and numerous smaller plates. These plates “ride” on the hot plastic upper mantle called

the asthenosphere. This theory also says that most of these plates are in motion, creating

a variety of interactions at the plate boundaries. As plate boundaries, plates may converge,

diverge, or slip (lateral) past each other in a horizontal motion. In addition, some plates may

appear to be inactive.
