- When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench.
- dig a trench or trenches in the ground.
- A convection current is a process that involves the movement of energy from one place to another.
- The transform plate boundary is a broad zone forming as the Pacific Plate slides northwestward past the North American Plate. It includes many lesser faults in addition to the San Andreas Fault
- Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth's tectonic plates spread apart
- a hot monten
Down
- A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving away from each other and new crust is forming from magma that rises to the Earth's surface
- crakorsplit in half
- If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction.
