Geological Features and Plate Boundaries

The video explains the different types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform. It details how these boundaries create various geological features such as trenches, rift valleys, mid-ocean ridges, and faults. The video also covers the formation of mountains and the seismic activity in the Ring of Fire. Key examples include the Marianas Trench, San Andreas Fault, and Appalachian Mountains.
