  1. rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface
  2. way in which heat travels by the movement of liquids or gases. It is the transfer of internal energy into or out of an object by the physical movement of a surrounding fluid that transfers the internal energy along with its mass
  3. is a type of tectonic plate boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.
  4. folded rock formations that have an upwards convex shape
