Boundaries
Boundaries are areas where plates meet
each other. There are a few different types of boundaries
which are characterized by how they interact with each
other. These move with regards to Newton’s second law which
states that for every reaction there is an equal and
opposite reaction. For example, this means that in the case
of a convergent boundary two plates will continually push
against each other generating force. As soon as the plates
slip that energy that is generated from the collusion of
these two plates will propagate out as an Earthquake.
One type of boundary is called a convergent boundary. This is where where one plate will push down when colliding with another plate.
Transformation boundaries are
characterized by two plates rubbing against each
other.
