Plate Tectonics and Fault Types

The video tutorial covers the deformation of Earth's crust, focusing on different types of plate boundaries: divergent, transform, and convergent. It explains the processes of seafloor spreading, subduction, and the formation of various landforms such as rift valleys, mid-ocean ridges, and mountains. The tutorial also discusses the types of stress (compression, tension, and shearing) and their relation to different faults (normal, reverse, and strike-slip). Additionally, it covers folding patterns like anticlines and synclines, and the role of faults in earthquakes.

What is formed when two oceanic plates pull apart at a divergent boundary?

• A trench

• A mid-ocean ridge

• A volcanic island
