New land is created
Plates move in opposite directions, or at different speeds
Two plates collide
Land is destroyed
Explosive volcanoes with sticky lava
Runny lava means that volcanoes are effusive rather than explosive
Two plates move apart
The Pacific Ring of Fire, for example
Powerful earthquakes as the crust sticks and pressure builds
Fault lines – such as the San Andreas Fault
