    Theory of Plate tectonics: pieces of earth's plates are in slow constant motion Currents in mantel make plates move Plate boundaries Spreading boundaries Aka divergent plates move apart Ocean: mid ocean ridges Land: rift valleys Convergent Boundaries Aka colliding boundaries plates move toward each other ocean makes trenches Land makes mountains Transform boundaries Aka sliding boundaries 2 plates slide past each other in the opposite direction Crust is not created or destroyed.

    Theory of Plate tectonics

    Chapter 4.5

    Plates: cracks in the lithosphere creates sections called plates Plate tectonics: pieces of earths plates are in slow constant motion Currents in mantel make plates move

    Plate boundaries
    Spreading boundaries
    Aka divergent Plates move apart Ocean: mid ocean ridges Land: rift valleys

    Convergent Boundaries
    Aka colliding boundaries Plates move toward each other Ocean makes trenches Land makes mountains

    Transform boundaries
    Aka sliding boundaries 2 plates slide past each other in the opposite direction Crust is not created or destroyed
