if it's a convergent (--> <--) boundary, one plate slides under another and usually forms volcanoes or trenches
divergent (<-- -->) forms a ridge where new crust forms
transform is when two plates slide past each other, and it causes earthquakes

Where do major interactions between tectonic plates occur?
At their boundaries.
What is the name of the places were the tectonic plates meet?
Plate Boundaries.
Where two tectonic plates meet?
two tectonic plates meet usually at mid ocean ridges (eg Iceland) and at destructive plate boundaries (eg Japan).
What is the most geologically active region on earth's surface?
boundaries between tectonic plates
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur at plate boundaries is true?
yes, they at the edge of the tectonic plates.
What happens along divergent boundaries?
along divergent boundaries tectonic plates move apart & rifts are created
What were boundaries?
Boundaries are where two tectonic plates meet.
Where do tectonic plates interact?
Interactions between tectonic plates occur at plate boundaries.
What happens at spreading plate boundaries?
tectonic plates move apart allowing magma to move to the surface.
Where are the boundaries of tectonics plates?
The primary plate boundaries of tectonic plates are located around the continents.
Tectonic plates interact at what?
Tectonic plates interact at plate boundariesThey move apart at divergent boundaries
What are plates called that are divergent plate boundaries?
Diverging tectonic plates.
Three characteristics of tectonic plates?
transforming boundaries, convergment boundaries, and divergent boundaries
What cities are on tectonic plate boundaries?
Japan is under three tectonic plates
What occurs at a divergent boundaries?
Tectonic plates divide
What causes earthquake at diversion boundaries?
moving of tectonic plates (lithospheric plates)
What do transform boundaries have in common with divergent boundaries?
Rhe tectonic plates are moving in both divergent and transform boundaries
