After seeing so many plates move so many different directions all over the world, we recognized we really needed to see just how plates interact with one another, now that we know the cause of their movement.
We agreed on the following:
1. Plates next to each other can be combinations of:
2. Plates can move:
We agreed on the following:
1. Plates next to each other can be combinations of:
- oceanic-oceanic plates
- oceanic-continental plates
- continental-continental plates
2. Plates can move:
- side-by-side
- towards/at each other
- away from each other
