1. What is a characteristic feature of a transform boundary?
2. Which geological feature is most commonly associated with convergent plate boundaries?
3. What process occurs at divergent boundaries that leads to the formation of new crust?
Transform boundary — role?
Lateral plate sliding; causes shallow earthquakes
Convergent boundary — features?
Mountains, deep trenches, volcanic arcs
Divergent boundary — process?
Plates move apart; magma creates new crust
Tectonic boundaries — zones where?
Earth's plates interact, causing activity.
Transform boundary — features?
Plates slide; earthquakes common.
Convergent boundary — outcome?
Mountain ranges, trenches form.
