The plates move using three types of movements: convergent, divergent and transform.

• True

• False

The convergent movement happens when...

• ...2 plates move sideways with respect to each other.

• ...plates move apart.

• ...plates move towards each other.

An example of convergent movement is The Himalayas.

• True

• False

The divergent movement happens when...

• ...plates move apart.

• ...plates move towards each other.

• ...2 plates move sideways with respect to each other.

An example of divergent movement is The Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

• True

• False

The transform movement happens when...

• ...plates move towards each other.

• ...plates move apart.

• ...2 plates move sideways with respect to each other.

An example of transform movement is an Earthquake.
