New cards
3 types of plate boundaries
Divergent, convergent, transform fault
4
New cards
Divergent plate boundary
Plates moving away from eachother (form rift valleys, seafloor spreading)
5
New cards
Convergent plate boundary
Plates move towards eachother and leads to subduction (form mountains and volcanoes)
6
New cards
Transform fault plate boundary
