Volcanoes can differ. Divergent. Convergent. Transform. Three types of plate boundary. Spreading ridges. As plates move apart new material is erupted to fill the gap. Divergent Boundaries. Iceland has a divergent plate boundary running through its middle. Volcanoes. Volcano:. mountain that forms in Earth’s crust when molten material (magma) reaches the surface. . Remember, . magma . is molten rock below ground; . lava. is molten rock at the surface. . The lithosphere is broken up into large sections called plates. They move around very slowly.. The movement can cause mountains and valleys to form.. Earthquakes usually happen at plate boundaries, called faults, when the plates get caught and then jerk loose. .
