- 4. Occurs at a transform boundary. Its magnitude is recorded on a Richter scale.
- 6. Is created at a transform boundary (San Andreas ______).
- 7. When two plates of different densities collide, causing the denser one to get pushed under the other (creates volcanoes).
- 8. Is formed at a divergent boundary in between two Oceanic plates.
- 9. Boundary where two tectonic plates move away from each other (creates rifts)
