The earth's plates usually move in three different ways resulting in three different types of plate margins/ boundaries: CONVERGENT, DIVERGENT and TRANSFORM plate boundaries.

When plates move towards each other, they collide and this usually either results in the denser of the plates sliding below the other plate or both plates pushing against each other resulting in both plates being pushed upwards to form often times Fold Mountains.  This type of earth tectonics causes a CONVERGENT (destructive; because the collision of the plates results in loss of earth surface area) plate boundary to be formed.

Plates can also pull away from each other and in so doing creating space usually in the form of a fissure between the two moving plates. This fissure usually also for molten earth (magma) rising to the surface and closing the opening between the plates.  This type of earth tectonic is known to form DIVERGENT (constructive; because it usually results in new land being formed) plate margins.

Plates also slide against each other (side to side) thus not resulting in neither the destruction or creation of new land.  This kind of plate margin is known as the TRANSFORM plate boundary.


The diagram below helps to solidify the points made above.

True or false
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

True.

But it only changes in physical change.

How?

Explanation:

The chemical reaction produces a new substance with new and different physical and chemical properties. Matter is never destroyed or created in chemical reactions. The particles of one substance are rearranged to form a new substance.

In a physical change, a substance's physical properties may change.

A chemical change is a permanent change. A Physical change affects only physical properties i.e. shape, size, etc. ... Some examples of physical change are freezing of water, melting of wax, boiling of water, etc. A few examples of chemical change are digestion of food, burning of coal, rusting, etc.

Hope this helps!
