Convergent boundary is when two plates come together. There is a example of convergent boundary, mountains. Mountains is create it when two continental come together then push up.
Subduction Zone is when two plates come together, but the dense one go under the light one. The examples of subduction zone are Trench and Volcanic Arc. Trench is the line in the ocean between two plates. Volcanic Arc is many volcanoes next to each other.
Divergent boundary is when two plates move different direction. Two examples cause by divergent boundary are Rift Valley and Mid-ocean Ridge. Rift Valley is continental plate broke apart. Mid-ocean Ridge is a series of mountain ranges on the ocean floor.
Fault zone is a break in the surface of the Earth where one side of the brake is pushed up against the other. it also call fault line.
Hot spot is the weak part of the crust.
Transform boundary is when two plates slide each other. Like earthquake and tsunami. earthquake is when land broke apart. tsunami is earthquake under ocean, which can push up water wave and carry a lot of energy and water go long distance.
Ring of fire is an area that have a lot of volcanoes and earthquake happen for example around pacific ocean.
