Open in App
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.
