What are 3 minor plates
Response
Turn 1 Answer

Oh, I remember this from Earth science! Divergent boundaries are where tectonic plates pull apart from each other — like how the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is splitting Africa and South America slowly apart. Usually, magma rises up to fill the gap, creating new crust, and you get things like rift valleys or underwater mountain ranges.

Convergent boundaries are the opposite: plates crash into each other. What happens next depends on the plates involved. If it's oceanic crust hitting continental crust, the denser oceanic plate dives under the continental one (that's subduction), which makes volcanoes and deep ocean trenches. If two continental plates collide, they crumple up to form huge mountain ranges like the Himalayas.

Basically, divergent = splitting apart, making new crust. Convergent = crashing together, either destroying crust or piling it up.

Oh, good question! Let me think...
1. The Caribbean Plate — it's what the Caribbean islands sit on, and it's squished between the North American and South American plates.
2. The Nazca Plate — this is the one that's subducting under the South American Plate, which is why the Andes Mountains are so tall and there's lots of volcanic activity there.
3. The Philippine Sea Plate — it's in the western Pacific, and it's responsible for a bunch of the earthquakes and volcanoes in that region, like around Japan and the Philippines.
Wait, do you want me to list a couple more or is that enough?
