 * Transform Boundaries**

Transform boundaries- where two or more tectonic plates grind past each other along what are called skip strike fault EX San Andreas Fault In California was formed by the Jaun De Funca rubbing against the north american plate Where plates holding landmasses collide, the crust crumples and buckles into mountain ranges
 * Convergent Boundaries**

In ocean-ocean convergences, one plate usually dives beneath the other, forming deep ** trenches ** like the Mariana Trench in the North Pacific Ocean

Indian plate and Asian plate crashed around 55 million years ago, making the Himalayas, the highest mountain system on Earth

The diving plates melts and is often shot out in volcanic eruptions such as those that formed some of the mountains in the Andes of South America formed bynasca plate smahing into the south american plate



Magma from deep in the Earth's mantle rises toward the surface and pushes apart two or more plates. EX Great Rift Valley in Africa
