Plate Boundaries: Divergent, Transform, & Convergent Processes

Explore the dynamics of plate boundaries including divergent mid-ocean ridges, transformative surface quakes at San Andreas Fault, and the formation of mountain ranges like the Himalayas. Learn about convergent interactions between continents creating features such as the Andes Mountains and the Great African Rift Valley. Discover how convergent boundaries between oceanic plates generate phenomena like the Aleutian Islands and trench formations.
