2 Draw pictures of the three types of boundaries:
Divergent

3 Draw pictures of the three types of boundaries:
Convergent

4 Draw pictures of the three types of boundaries:
Transform

5 Crust is destroyed at convergent boundaries
Crust is destroyed at convergent boundaries. Crust is formed at divergent boundaries. Crust is neither destroyed or formed at transform boundaries.

6 Divergent boundaries move apart creating new crust.

7 Mid-ocean ridges form at divergent boundaries by pushing up seafloor.

8 Mid-ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that can form at a divergent boundary.

9 A rift valley is a gap at divergent boundaries where molten material rises to build new crust.

10

11 Rift valleys can occur in the ocean to create mid-ocean ridges or on continents to form volcanoes, lakes, or rivers.
