Types of movement of lithospheric plates.

The main types of movement of lithospheric plates are convergence, divergence and diving.

When the lithospheric plates diverge, cracks and faults appear.

When lithospheric plates converge, mountains, mountain ranges and ridges appear.

When one lithospheric plate dives under another, mountains and underwater trenches are formed.

Diving most often occurs in a thin oceanic plate beneath the continental plate, which is thicker and more massive.
