Certainly! Here's an organized layout based on the plate boundary types, including the direction of movement, description/features, and examples.

### Divergent Plate Boundary
- **Drag the Proper Boundary Image**: (Image of two tectonic plates moving apart)
- **Direction of Movement**: Dividing (moving away from each other)
- **Description/Features of Plate Boundaries**: Characterized by the formation of new oceanic crust as magma rises to the surface. Leads to mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys.
- **Examples**: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, East African Rift

### Transform Plate Boundary
- **Drag the Proper Boundary Image**: (Image of two tectonic plates sliding past each other)
- **Direction of Movement**: Sliding past each other (horizontal movement)
- **Description/Features of Plate Boundaries**: Plates slide laterally against each other, causing friction. This can lead to earthquakes.
- **Examples**: San Andreas Fault (California), North Anatolian Fault (Turkey)

### Convergent Plate Boundary (C-C)
- **Drag the Proper Boundary Image**: (Image of two tectonic plates colliding)
- **Direction of Movement**: Collide (moving towards each other)
- **Description/Features of Plate Boundaries**: Involves the collision of plates, which can lead to the formation of mountains, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
- **Examples**: Himalayas (India and Eurasian Plate), Andes Mountains (Nazca and South American Plates)
