Q- Differentiate between
a). Converging and Diverging Tectonic Plates.
Answer- Converging Tectonic Plates:
1. The tectonic plates which moves towards each other or tries to converge are known as Converging Tectonic Plates.
2. These plates collide or crumble or one of them slides under the other while moving toward each other or while converging.
3. Converging Tectonic Plates causes folds.
Diverging Tectonic Plates:
1. The tectonic plates which moves away from each other or tries to diverge are known as Diverging Tectonic Plates.
2. These plates do not collide or crumble or one of them slides under the other while moving away from each other or while diverging.
3. Diverging Tectonic Plates causes fractures in the crust.
