What feature is created by a divergent boundary on land?

Back

Rift Valley

Front

What type of boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other?

Back

Transform

Front

What is a divergent boundary?

Back

A tectonic plate boundary where two plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of new crust.

Front

What is a convergent boundary?

Back

A tectonic plate boundary where two plates collide, often forming mountains or causing subduction.

Front

What is a transform boundary?

Back

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

What geological feature is commonly associated with divergent boundaries in oceans?

Back

Mid Ocean Ridge

Front

What is subduction?

Back

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