Which boundary or zone adds new material to the lithosphere (the hard outer crust of the Earth)?

• Subduction zone

• Divergent boundary

• Collision zone

• Transform boundary

In what way does a transform boundary differ from the other boundary types?

• Transform boundaries are always found on the ocean floor.

• Transform boundaries can result in volcanic activity.

• At a transform boundary, one plate slides beneath the other.

• At a transform boundary, the plates move in a direction that is parallel to the boundary line.

The highest mountains in the world are the Himalayas, at the border between the Indian and Eurasian plates. The Himalayas formed in a ________________.
