Plat maps, also known as land or property plats, are detailed maps created by local government offices to illustrate property ...

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways ...

Whatever drives the movement, plate tectonic activity takes place at four types of boundaries: divergent boundaries, where new crust is formed; convergent boundaries, where crust is consumed ...

or two colliding plates can form a mountain belt. At divergent boundaries, plates move away from each other and form mid-ocean ridges or major rift zones, and at strike-slip boundaries plates ...

The 2025 Callaway County Plat Book is available for $35 at the Callaway County MU Extension office, located at 10 E. Fifth St., Room G01 in Fulton. The physical and digital editions are available ...

Transform boundaries neither create nor consume crust. Rather, two plates move against each other, building up tension, then releasing the tension in a sudden and often violent jerk. This sudden ...

Where convection currents push plates together, destructive plate boundaries (margins) are formed. Constructive plate margins close constructive plate marginAn area where two tectonic plates are ...
