Read and analyze the excerpt. Identify the three indicated types of plate movement.
Illustrate it on the box provided below (10 points).
TYPE OF PLATE BOUNDARIES
Studying plate boundaries is important because along these boundaries, the
deformation of the lithosphere is happening. Divergent plate movement occurs when
plates pull apart from each other. When two (2) plates diverge, pieces from such
plates sink towards the Earth's mantle. On the other hand, convergent movement
occurs when plates crush into each other and land crumples, forming trenches and
mountains. Lateral or transform fault movement occurs when plates move alongside
each other in different directions.
