Plate boundaries are zones where plates collide or separate resulting in the crust being created or destroyed. The plates move due to the movement of convectional currents in the mantle below the crust. This is called as the endogenetic force as the energy comes from within the earth. At a constructive plate boundary… Continue Reading →
