When two plates slip past each other in opposite directions this is known as a

• transform boundary

• divergent boundary

• convergent boundary

• rift valley

A collision of two pieces of continental crust at a converging boundary produces

• a mountain range

• a mid-ocean ridge

• a deep-ocean trench

• a rift valley
