Plate Boundaries

What happens at a constructive plate boundary?

• Plates are forced under each other
• Plates slide past each other horizontally
• Plates collide and mountains form
• Plates move apart and new crust is formed

What happens at a conservative plate boundary?

• Plates are forced under each other
• Plates slide past each other horizontally
• Plates move apart and new crust is formed
• Plates collide and mountains form
