PLATE TECTONICS!
BY: ELIANA MENASHE
HOW DIVERGENT WORKS…
The two plate boundaries
spread apart from each
other and the magma
comes out from the bottom
and bubbles up.
Example: Hawaii

HOW CONVERGENT WORK…
The two plate boundaries are
going the same way but one
goes under and one goes over
and the magma melts.
Example: Alaska, Japan

HOW DOES TRANSFORM WORK…
The two plate boundries brake
apart and then when they
come back together they aren’t
exactly fit so at one point it just
gives and that’s how earth
quakes happen.
Example: San Fransisco
