What type of plate boundary is this?

The map shows some of Earth’s plate tectonic boundaries. Based on the map, volcanic activity would most likely be found at —

What are the puzzle pieces of the Earth's surface called?

The Earth's surface is divided into large sections known as tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and are responsible for geological activities such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

This is when two plates converge but one slides under the other due to density.

The correct answer is 'Subduction' because it describes the process where one tectonic plate slides under another due to differences in density, leading to geological features like trenches and volcanic activity.
