  5. Transform Boundary • Transform Boundary: plates scrape across each other in opposite directions • Typical geologic activity = earthquake • Example: San Andreas Fault in California

  6. Divergent Boundary • Divergent Boundary: plates move apart • Typical geologic activity = rift valleys, mid-ocean ridges, and volcanoes • Examples: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Great Rift Valley

  7. Convergent Boundary: Subduction • Convergent Boundary (subduction): Plates push together and one goes underneath the other • Typical geologic activity = trenches, earthquakes, and volcanoes • Example: Marianas Trench

  8. Mariana Trench

  9. Convergent Boundary: Buckling • Convergent Boundary (buckling): plates push together and both plates push up • Type of geologic activity: mountains • Example: the Himalayas
