A subduction zone is formed...

• when one tectonic plate sinks below another
• at every type of convergent plate boundary
• at every type of divergent plate boundary
• at transform boundaries

What feature is is created at a subduction zone?

• Mid-Atlantic Ridge
• Volcanic Mountains
• Rocky Mountains
• Great Rift Valley

These are NOT plate boundary features. They are areas where hot mantle plumes push up through the lithospheric plates to create volcanic islands such as Hawaii.

• Hotspots

• Convergent Boundary

• Divergent Boundary

• Transform Boundary

What makes the plate tectonics move?

• hot magma

• the ocean floor

• convection currents

• heat waves
