The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely responsible ... creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform ...

At divergent boundaries ... subduction zones may themselves be transformed to other types of plate boundary. For example, when India collided with Asia, an active subduction zone was transformed ...

St. Helens. Most of the subducting plate continues into the mantle, perhaps to reappear much later at a distant divergent boundary.

Four types of plate tectonic activity are demonstrated in this feature. Keep an eye on the map to see where in the world the activity takes place. Also known as spreading boundary, a divergent ...

South America has a great example of a convergent plate boundary ... This is called a constructive or divergent plate boundary. These are usually found under oceans. As the plate moves apart ...
