  1. 2. 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.
  2. 4. dig a trench or trenches in the ground.
  3. 5. A convection current is a process that involves the movement of energy from one place to another.
  4. 7. 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
  5. 8. Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth's tectonic plates spread apart
  6. 9. a hot monten

  1. 1. 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

  3. 6. 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.
  4. 8. a hot flued in the ground
