Plate tectonics By: yoel Kintzer Diversion plates • “In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.” WHAT IS A transformative plate Places where plates slide past each other are called transform boundaries. A conversion plate is A conversion plate is where plates crash or crunch or crumple together are then called convergent boundaries. Plates only move a few centimeters each year, so collisions are very slow and last millions of years. Even though plate collisions take a long time, lots of interesting things happen. For example, in the drawing above, an oceanic plate has crashed into a continental plate. WHAT IS A HOTSPOT • A HOTSPOT IS WHEN THERE IS A HOT PLACE AND ALL ITS SUROUNDINGS ARE COLD LIKE HAWWI FOR EXAMPLE. THE END The citaions • PLATE TEACHTONICCS WEB THINGS CITATIONS • • "Google."
