Three different types of boundaries:
1. Transform - plates slide past each other. The San Andreas fault is an example. Causes earthquakes.
2. Divergent boundaries - when plates slide apart from each other. Here you will find mid-ocean ridges and rift zones.
3. Convergent boundaries - When plates slide toward each other. Form subduction zones. Here you will find deep sea trenches, and mountain ranges as a result of the collisions.

In this case the platelets have to grow up with just one plate around and the other--always the male plate--has to pay for them for the next 18 years. Sorry but it was too easy.

they do no longer "chop up" aside. They flow, generally and frequently very slowly. that is declared as plate tectonics. the technique started out whilst this planet had all of its one land mass in one place... mentioned as Pangaea, or Gondwanaland. (google it to work out what each and each gave the impact of) As any college newborn can see, the "pork chop" of South united states of america fits properly into the neck of Africa, and you will google Plate Tectonics maps to work out how all of those plates have moved over the direction of earth's history. often all of them flow approximately as rapid as your fingernails improve in one year. In time, for instance the Rift Valley in Africa, would be crammed with ocean water, the Himalayas would be even taller as greater of India crashes (ever so slowly) into Asia, and the place Palm Springs is in California, would be up close to San Francisco. whilst the shift on the perimeters of two of those plates is unexpected, we've earthquakes. Google Plate Tectonics Maps, to work out the place all of them meet. And that's the place they meet that the floor is maximum energetic.

You get earthquakes.
Look up Plate Techtonics

New oceanic crust is formed, eventually making a new ocean.
