Answer:
Over time, Earth's plate tectonics have slowly moved apart from each other over the past millions of years. It has now created seven continents instead of one single continent which was called Pangea. We no have mountain ranges, island chains, rift valleys, volcanoes, and mid-ocean ridges. There is three type of lithospheric plates that cause these things to happen on Earth's surface, they are called: divergent boundaries, transform boundaries, and convergent boundaries. Divergent boundary occurs when plates move apart from one another, it can occur in oceans and land and can form mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys. Convergent boundary occurs where two plates move toward each other, it creates (oceanic-oceanic) island chains, (oceanic-continental) creates volcanoes, and (continental-continental) creates mountains. Transform boundary occurs where plates slip past each other in opposite directions, crust is neither created nor destroyed and is responsible for earthquakes along transform boundaries.
