1. TRANSFORM PLATE
BOUNDARIES
Faults: Transform boundaries are marked
by strike-slip faults, where the plates
move horizontally in opposite directions.
Transform boundaries are where two tectonic
plates slide past each other horizontally.
It can result in:
DIVERGENT PLATE
BOUNDARIES
Oceanic Ridges: Underwater mountain
ranges are formed along divergent
boundaries
Rift Valleys: On land, the stretching of
the crust can lead to the formation of
deep valleys.
Divergent boundaries are where two
tectonic plates are moving away from each
other.
It can result in:
CONVERGENT PLATE BOUNDARIES
Ocean-Continent Convergence: An oceanic plate dives beneath a
continental plate in a process called subduction. This can lead to the
formation of deep ocean trenches.
Ocean-Ocean Convergence: When two oceanic plates collide, the
denser one usually subducts beneath the other
Continent-Continent Convergence: When two continental plates
collide, they crumple and push upwards, forming high mountain
ranges.
Convergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates move toward each
other. There are 3 types convergent plate movements, they are:
