Write short note of plade boundary

Plate tectonics affects humans in several important ways.

• It causes earthquakes
• It causes volcanism
• It induces recycling of elements within the biosphere and between the geosphere and biosphere
• It causes mountain-building

Types of plate boundaries:

Plate Boundaries mainly consists of three types (fourth is a mixed type), formed in the manner the plates shift in relative to each other. These are collectively referred to as surface phenomena of different types. Plate boundaries are of different types, namely:

Transform boundaries:

These boundaries happen where two lithospheric plates move apart, or maybe further precisely, collide away from one other despite the transform faults, where plates are neither created nor destroyed.

Divergent boundaries:

These boundaries happen when both plates move apart from one other.

Convergent boundaries:

These boundaries happen where both plates move towards one other to form a zone of subduction or a continental collision.
