  1. 1. these can occur at a transform boundary if enough pressure builds up.
  2. 3. At a convergent boundary, land is neither created nor _________.
  3. 5. There are two types of this plate boundary. They can occur with two plates carrying continental crust, or two plates - one carrying oceanic crust, and the other carrying continental crust.
  4. 7. activity can occur when magma pushes upward at a Mid-Ocean Ridge.
  5. 9. This boundary is when plates slip past one another, and occurs with two plates carrying continental crust.
