- Constructive (mid oceanic ridges) - volcanoes.
- Destructive (subduction zones -continental collisions) - deep sea trenches, Island arks, mountain ranges, volcanoes, very bad earthquakes, mylonites.
- Transverse (San Andreas Fault, North Anotolian Fault) - earthquakes.

What type of plate boundary and geological event is mountains?
I know that the plate boundaries are 2 continental but I don't know the geological event.
What type of plate boundary does compression occur?
Converging Plate Boundaries
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Where do plate boundary movements occur?
At plate boundaries.
What plate boundaries do hot spots from?
Plate boundaries are usually not associated with plate boundaries. In the cases that they occur near them, it is usually coincidence.

What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Do most severe earthquakes occur at plate boundaries or in the middle of plates?
Plate Boundaries
What geological activity or activities happen at sliding plate boundaries?
Plate boundaries are associated with geological events such as earthquakes and creation of topographic features like the mountains, volcanoes, mid-ocean ridges, and oceanic trenches.
What types of Volcanoes can occur far from any plate boundaries?
Shield volcanoes may occur far from any plate boundaries.
Where do earthquakes occur the most - near plate boundaries or far away from plate boundaries?
Near plate boundaries. (Thank you teacher for explaining)
Are geological hot spots collisional?
No. Hot spots are not associated with plate boundaries.
Where do volcanoes occur around divergent plate boundaries?
yes they do occur along divergent boundaries
