Plate Boundaries Review

Large sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, causing geological activity.

A location where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust, often creating volcanoes.

An active volcano at one end of a chain of 'extinct' volcanoes.

A tectonic plate boundary where two plates move away from each other, often creating new crust.

A tectonic plate boundary where two plates collide, leading to subduction or mountain formation.

A tectonic plate boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally.

The process where one tectonic plate moves under another and sinks into the mantle.

Mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys.

Mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic arcs.

Geological features that are displaced due to the movement of tectonic plates, such as streams and fences.
