Front

What is a Transform Boundary?

Back

A boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other without creating or destroying crust.

Front

What is a Divergent Boundary?

Back

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

Front

What is a Convergent Boundary?

Back

A boundary where two tectonic plates collide, leading to the destruction of crust.

Front

What is Sea-floor Spreading?

Back

The process by which new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and older crust is pushed away.

Front

What is Biogenous Sediment?

Back

Sediment that is derived from the remains of living organisms, such as calcareous and siliceous ooze.
