Introduction
Divergent → Ochre plates move away from each other, form divergent bending. Glaciers are huge names of consolidated ice, which slowly flow as big rivers of ice.

Main Body
DivergentOchre plates move away from each other, form divergent bending.
(c) Ocean-OceanRidge vulcanism, and mid oceanic rift by Mid Atlantic Ridge bw African & South-African Plate.
(b) Continent-ContinentForms deep rift valley, is intermitted vulcanism.
Veq: Great Africa Rift valley
3Transform → When plate move parallel to each other, not creating any new thing. Causes Earthquake.
Veq: Great California Transform fault tectonics, through bends clay interaction cause disasters as well as shape morphology.
Glaciers are huge names of consolidated ice, which slowly flow as big rivers of ice.
Landform created by Glacial Action:
1Erosional:
(a) HornAfter erosion all side of a mountain top, the peak that remain. e.g. Mt Everest.
(b) CirqueThe hallow on one side of a mountain due to glacial erosion.
(c) AreteWhen two cirque meet, a ridge like overlying line is formed called arete.
(d) FjordValleys filled with infuncy sea water cap in Baltic region.
(d) Glacial valleyThe main valley in which the glacier moves.
(e) Hanging valleyValley formed by feeding channels to the main glacial body are hanging valley.
Depositional Feature:
1Moraines → While feeding, a glacier may leave unconsolidated rocky deposits. These are of various type:
(a) Lateral moraineOn the both lateral side of the glacier.
(b) Terminal moraineAt the end of the glacier earlier north.
(c) Medial moraineThe neck settled at the centre of the glacial valley due to gap in glacier.
(d) Glacial PlainThe vast plain left after receding is called glacial plain. Due to rapid melting of glaciers caused by Global warming, the nature acts of landform formation is disturbed. This might affect people lives.
