The area on the surface of Earth, located near the upward moving arrows and marked S, is an area where —

• magma flows up and outward as plate boundaries move apart, changing the ocean basin.

• volcanoes form due to plate boundaries colliding with each other.

• trenches form as plate boundaries create subduction zones.

• earthquake activity is frequent due to transform boundaries that are pushing together.

The picture below shows a portion of a mountain range between the Indian and Eurasian plates called the Himalayas, which has some of the largest mountains in the world. These mountains formed —

• as two continental plates collided, causing an upward force to lift the land over time.

• as two divergent plates collided, pushing one plate upward to form mountains.

• at a transform boundary, where two plates slide past each other, creating a fault line and pulling land upward.

• at a subduction zone, where two plates collide and one plate dives under the other, causing a lift of the land.
