Back

A Transform fault boundary is where plates slide past each other horizontally.

Front

What type of plate boundary is associated with mountain formation?

Back

Convergent Boundary.

Front

What occurs at Divergent plate boundaries?

Back

Plates move apart and form mid-ocean ridges.

Back

A plate boundary where two plates move apart.

Front

What is a Convergent Boundary?

Back

A plate boundary where two plates move together, often causing one to slide beneath the other.

Front

What is the result of a Transform Boundary?

Back

The sudden release of pressure can result in an earthquake.

Front

What land feature is formed at a Divergent Boundary?

Back

Mid-ocean ridges.

Front

What is the process of subduction?

Back

Subduction is when one tectonic plate slides beneath another.
