The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways ...

At divergent boundaries ... But, in light of the ever-evolving and dynamic interplay between Earth's tectonic plates, it is clear that this subduction boundary will not last forever.

The movement of these tectonic plates leads to earthquakes and volcanoes ... This is called a constructive or divergent plate boundary. These are usually found under oceans. As the plate moves ...

Chile Rise 1. Located in the Peru-Chile Trench 2. It is a tectonic divergent plate boundary between the Nazca and Antarctic Plates. East Pacific Rise 1. Located along the floor of the Pacific Ocean 2.

Four types of plate tectonic activity are demonstrated ... Also known as spreading boundary, a divergent boundary occurs where two plates move apart, allowing magma, or molten rock, to rise ...

In this type of fault, the block of rock above the fault plane, known as the hanging wall, moves downward relative to the block below, called the footwall. Normal faults are typically found at ...
