Divergent
Divergent is when the land spreads apart eg. the San andreas fault line. When
the land diverged it created an earthquake that is how San andreas fault was
created. It could also be bigger like for instance Canada and U.S. could split
up. When thing do depart from one another or do so under the earth this can
cause a earthquake and can cause a vocanic eruption even a tsanami if you are on
a island.

Convergent
The convergent boundary is when the plates move at each other. One of the
plates will be forced to get pushed underneath the other one. The plate that
goes under will have the other plate go over top of it. This can cause volcanos
if the rocks crumble and there is magma. If there is no magma it will just make
mountains. It can cause tsanami if the volcanoes erupt it will make land but
the land will push and that's how a tsunamie starts. Another way for a tsanami
to start is when they collide they can cause an earthquake. Look at the
picture above to get a better understanding.

Transform
Transform is when one piece of land goes upwards. If this happens in the ocean
it can cause a tsunami but when this happens on land it causes an earthquake.
When one of the pieces of land gets bigger then the other it can go over top of
the smaller one and can cause great damage. Another occurance can be one piece
of land is heading upward while the other piece of land is heading downward.

Pangaea
Imagine all the continents were all beside each other all one big continent well
does not take to much to think about that because it is true. They all were one
continent they go together like a giant jigsaw puzzle. The the theory behind it
was that the west of Africa lined up together with the bottom of south america.
Another theory they had to also show it was true was that there were fossils in
North America that were in Russia and the animals could not have swam all the
way across. There were also plants that were in North America and in Russia and
we all know plants cant swim. Another on that note is mountains were the same
and are the same age as the other ones so thats why they came up with that
theory. So what do you think do you think it was all together at one time I know
I do.
