Trenches occur in subduction zones, so one plate (usually oceanic because it is more dense) is subducted beneath the other plate, so the plates are moving towards each other
Convergent plates move towards each other, leading to a collision or subduction of the plates. This movement can result in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
Transform plates are also known as "Spreading Plates." Therefore, they spread apart
when pressure builds under the plates they move in opposite directions.
Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
The earth's plates move in all directions: up, down, and sideways. That's why we have mountains and subsidances and earthquakes and volcanoes and all sorts of stuff!
It is a divergent boundary when they move When they move -> together
trenches or mountains or rift valleys or faults depends which direction the plates move
when the earths plates move we either have earthquakes, tsunamis, and we get ridges and trenches.
At transform boundaries, the plates move horizontal in relation to each other.
Convergent plates move towards each other, leading to a collision or subduction of the plates. This movement can result in the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
The earth's plates move slowly because how big the earthquake is he bigger the amount the plates will move and the slower the earthquake is the less it moves.

Transform plates are also known as "Spreading Plates." Therefore, they spread apart
When tectonic plates move closer together, it is called plate convergence. This can result in the formation of features like mountain ranges and deep ocean trenches.
Transform Boundary
Nope! They move in different directions which is why there are earthquakes.
