The effect of subduction at the boundary of two plates is the movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate. This creates a subduction zone, which often occurs in convergent boundaries.

What type of plate boundary is the southeast Indian ridge?

The southeast Indian Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This movement causes magma to rise from the mantle, creating new crust as the plates separate.


A rift valley is evidence of which plate boundary?

A rift valley is evidence of a divergent plate boundary, where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This movement creates a gap in the Earth's crust, resulting in the formation of a rift valley.
