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.
Divergent boundary — process?
Plates move apart; new crust forms.
Fault — definition?
Fracture with relative movement.
Hot spot — activity?
Volcanic activity away from edges.
Seismic focus — location?
Earthquake origin point inside Earth.
