PLATE TECTONICS

- Earth’s lithosphere consists of layers, the crust and the upper part of the
mantle.

Types of Plate Boundaries

- The first type of plate boundary is termed divergent boundary
wherein plates move apart, creating a zone of tension.
- this second type of plate boundary is called convergent plate
boundary.
- third type is the transform fault boundary where plates slide or
grind past each other without diverging or converging.
