Plate boundary zones:broad belts in which boundaries are not well defined and the effects of plate interaction are unclear. Plate Boundary Types Divergent boundary (Constructive) Occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, lava spews from long fissures and geys...
Plate boundariesStrain tensorStrain trajectoriesPrincipal strain orientations (minimum horizontal compression—ex and maximum horizontal compression—ey) were established at three different types of plate tectonic boundary: two transform faults, an oceanic ridge located on the Southeast Indian Ridge and a ...

Plate boundary zones, also known asdiffuse boundaries, are regions where tectonic plates interact across a broad, complex area rather than along a single, well-defined boundary. These zones exhibit widespread deformation due to the relative motions of neighboring plates, resulting in faulting, folding...
One type of tectonic plate boundary -- a boundary separates the large plates composing Earth's surface -- is the convergent boundary. Tectonic plates are in constant, although extremely slow, movement. Their movements cause land to separate, islands to f
The Three Types of Plate Boundaries Divergent boundaries occur when two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. As a result, they can create new valleys and oceanic crust, sometimes resulting in volcanoes. The Arabian and African plate have a divergent boundary and caused the 1995 earthq...

Transform Plate Boundaries The third type of lithospheric plate boundary is a transform boundary. Sometimes called a conservative boundary, because crust is neither created nor destroyed at the boundary, transform boundaries occur in regions where plates are sliding horizontally past each other. Transform...
The mantle is made of solid rock that is heated and cooled, allowing it to flow like a milkshake. This forms convection currents that allow for tectonic plate movement. The area where two tectonic plates meet is called a fault. There are three major types of boundaries that form at faults...
Basaltic magmas generally occur at or neardivergent or convergent tectonic plate boundariesand hot spots, and a significant percentage of Basaltic magmas/lava eruptions take place beneath the surface of the oceans. Volcanic eruptions in the US State of Hawaii are an example of Basaltic eruptions on...
