1. What is a characteristic feature of a transform boundary?
2. What type of boundary is characterized by plates sliding past each other, often resulting in earthquakes?
3. Which geological feature is most commonly associated with convergent plate boundaries?
Transform boundary — role?
Lateral plate sliding; causes shallow earthquakes
Tectonic boundaries — zones where?
Earth's plates interact, causing activity.
Convergent boundary — features?
Mountains, deep trenches, volcanic arcs
Transform boundary — features?
Plates slide; earthquakes common.
Divergent boundary — process?
Plates move apart; magma creates new crust
Convergent boundary — outcome?
Mountain ranges, trenches form.
