What landforms occur on transform boundaries?
Rocks can form rift valleys and mountains.
What places where tectonic plates separate is called?
Fault lines or plate boundaries.
What type of boundary causes faulting?
Transform boundaries cause fault lines or faults.
What do fault lines and volcanoes have to do with one another?
The most active fault lines are usually at boundaries between tectonic plates. Most volcanoes form at boundaries where plates either come together or move apart. Additionally, in an area where conditions are right for volcanoes to form, faults can provide a pathway for magma to reach to surface to form a volcano, thus influencing where volcanoes form on a localized scale.
What types of feature are being at each boundary?
Fault Lines. A transform boundary connects two diverging boundaries, creating a fault line. ... Trenches. Trenches are geological features formed by convergent boundaries. ... Volcanoes. ... Mountain Ranges. ... Ridges. ... Rift Valleys.

What are the three types of fault lines?
There are three types of fault lines in the crust. There are divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries.
What type of boundary causes faulting?

What is the difference between a physical border and a political border?
Natural boundaries are coastlines, mountain ranges, lakes, rivers, gulfs, canyons, desert wastelands... basically, a part of the earth that is considered by most to be uninhabitable. Political boundaries are the borders that are represented on maps by all the other lines besides natural boundaries and latitude/longitude indicators (although many political boundaries are natural boundaries and parts of lines of latitude and longitude). They are the boundaries between nations and between national subdivisions.

along the boundaries of tectonic plates, or another name are fault lines.
