❑ Motion of Plates
❑ Motion of Plates Subduction - when one plate subsides beneath the other plate
❑ Motion of Plates Spreading - occurs when two plates are move away from each other
Three Types of Tectonic Boundaries
❑ Convergent ❑ Divergent ❑ Transform
❑ Convergent
❑ Divergent

❑ the process leading to the formation or deposition of layers, especially of the sedimentary rocks
❑ strata may range from thin sheets that cover many square km to thick lens like bodies that extend only a few m lateral
