Summary

The document discusses plate tectonics, explaining that the Earth's lithosphere is broken into plates that slowly move, forming three types of boundaries - divergent where plates move apart, convergent where plates collide, and transform faults where plates slide past each other.

Summary/Synthesis/Feedback

 According to the plate tectonics model, the entire lithosphere of the Earth is broken into
numerous segments called plates.
 Each plate is slowly but continuously moving.
 As a result of the motion of the plates, three types of plate boundaries were formed: Divergent,
Convergent, and Transform fault boundaries.
 Divergent boundary is formed when plates move apart, creating a zone of tension.
 Convergent boundary is present when two plates collide.
 Transform fault is characterized by plates that are sliding past each other.
 Plate tectonics give rise to several geologic features and events.
