plate boundry types

There are 12 plates on earth they are Antartica, Pacific, North America, Nazca, Cocos, Caribbian, South America, Africa, Eurasian, Arabian, and the Australian.Our plate is Eurasia it is one of the biggest plats on Earth, and has the moost volcanic area.

There are three different types of plate boundry's one of them is called Convergent boundries it's when two plates collide to form mountains or a subduction zone. The other one is called a divergent boundry is when two plates are moving in oppisite dirrections as in a mid-ocean ridge.And the last plate boundry type is called Tramsform bondries is when two plates are sliding past eachother. A transform boundrie is like a tear in the earth's crust. The convention currents in the much hotter mantle move the plates about 1/2 to four inches a year. As the mantle rock melt they form magma
