What kind of landforms are formed at transform plate boundaries?

there are many landforms such as volcanoes moutains little islands and trenches may also form at the transformation plate boundaries. i think this is the answer


What landforms can form independent of plate boundaries?

Some landforms that can form independent of plate boundaries include volcanoes that form over hot spots in the middle of plates, rift valleys that form at divergent boundaries within plates, and dome mountains that form from uplift and erosion processes.


What types of landforms are found in the ocean like the Atlantic?

Islands are in the Atlantic Ocean; other landforms abut the ocean, but form its boundaries.


What are the three possible tectonic plate combinations at convergent boundaries?

Each of the plates may be oceanic or continental. That gives three possibilities:oceanic - oceanicoceanic - continentalcontinental - continental.

What landforms are formed at diverging boundaries?

In plate tectonics, divergent boundaries occur when plates pull apart. On land, divergent boundaries form rifts or valleys. More commonly, divergent boundaries in the ocean occur and cause mid-oceanic ridges. Divergent boundaries can also form volcanoes when the plates separate enough to allow molten lava to seep out, harden, and eventually form islands.


What landforms occur on transform boundaries?

Transform boundaries are characterized by lateral sliding of tectonic plates, resulting in faults and fractures in the Earth's crust. Some landforms that can occur along transform boundaries include strike-slip faults, valleys, and linear ridges formed by tectonic activity. These boundaries do not typically exhibit prominent landforms such as mountains or trenches like other plate boundaries.


What are the volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries called?

Volcanic landforms at divergent ocean plate boundaries are called mid-ocean ridges. These ridges form where tectonic plates are moving away from each other, allowing magma to rise up and create new oceanic crust. They are characterized by volcanic activity and the formation of underwater mountain ranges.


What two landforms are formed far from the plate boundaries?

The two plates are; Indo-Australian Plate subducts and Pacific Plate that form the Puysegur Trench.


What causes the creation of various landforms at plate boundaries?

Plate movements.
