PLATE TECTONICS

THE LITHOSPHERE IS BROKEN INTO PIECES THAT MOVE

CONVECTION CURRENTS

MOVEMENT IN MANTLE DUE TO DIFFERENCE IN DENSITY

SLAB PULL

GRAVITY PULLING ON A SUBDUCTION PLATE

RIDGE PUSH

MAGMA PUSHING THE EGDES OF DIVERGING PLATES APART

DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY

PLATES MOVE AWAY FROM EACH OTHER

RIFT VALLEY

EAST AFRICAS GREAT RIFT VALLEY THAT RESULTS FROM A DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY

MID OCEAN RIDGE

THE MID ATLANTIC RIDGE THAT IS CAUSED BY A DIVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARY
