Solution
The three types of lithospheric plate movements are as follows:
Divergent plate movement: It occurs when two plates move away from each other.
Convergent plate movement: It occurs when, due to the forces of compression, two plates move towards each other and they collide.
Transform plate movement: It occurs when two plates slide past each other.
