Divergent Plate Boundary Map – Hand each student a plate boundary map and a slip of paper with a scientific Use Graphic 2 to discuss convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries. Explain why each of these boundaries . 1. At divergent boundaries, two plates move away from each other and magma moves through the gap created, making ocean floor, mid-ocean ridges, and shield volcanoes. 2. Plates slide past each other .

Divergent Plate Boundary Map Evidence of Plate Motions Geology (U.S. National Park Service): When the plate sinks into the mantle it melts to form magma. The pressure of the magma builds up beneath the Earth’s surface. The magma escapes through weaknesses in the rock and rises up through . The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways .
