The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely ... three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates ...

Four types of plate tectonic activity are demonstrated ... creating mountain ranges. A transform boundary occurs where two plates slide against each other. But rather than sliding smoothly ...

The other plate interaction is a transform boundary (strike-slip), where the plates slide past each other. Both of these ...

Deep trenches appear at these boundaries, caused by the oceanic plate bending downward into the Earth. Deep below the Earth's surface, subduction causes partial melting of both the ocean crust and ...

which forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. These are known as Transform Faults. As the plates scrape past each other, pressure builds up and is ...
