Earth is created of 4 main parts, the inner core, the outer core, the mantle and the lithosphere. The mantle is made out of liquid rocks that moves in a circle under the lithosphere. As it moves however, it also moves the crust on top of it, the lithosphere. There is three different way the plates can move,it falls into divergent boundary, convergent boundary and transform boundary. A divergent boundary is when the plates moves away from each other. It creates a mid-ocean ridge or rift valley depending on the type of crust, continental or oceanic. A convergent boundary is created when two plates moves toward each other. It creates a mountain, trench or volcano. A transform boundary is when two plates move in opposite direction. It creates an earthquake or a tsunami.
