One plate eventually slides beneath the other causing a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Benioff Zone.]]> 2019-04-04 12:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/noah_rauch/pb726zoaafd1/wish/348466716 noah_rauch https://padlet.com/noah_rauch/pb726zoaafd1/wish/348466783 A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving away from each other and new crust is forming from magma that rises to the Earth's surface between the two plates. ]]> 2019-04-04 12:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/noah_rauch/pb726zoaafd1/wish/348466783 noah_rauch https://padlet.com/noah_rauch/pb726zoaafd1/wish/348466912 A transform fault or transform boundary is a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal.

Now, as plates pull apart, several things may occur. First of all, volcanic activity is common in these areas since mantle easily moves to the surface through the thin, fractured rock as it separates.]]> 2019-04-04 14:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/noah_rauch/pb726zoaafd1/wish/348546733
