EzraA transform boundary is where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes. A convergent boundary is where two plates move towards each other, leading to one plate being forced beneath the other in a process called subduction, creating features like mountain ranges and trenches.

What Type of Plate Boundary Is Creating MT Fuji?
Mt. Fuji is located in Japan. It is near a continental convergent boundary, a continental transform boundary, and an oceanic transform boundary.
What are the 3 types of plate boundarys?
The three types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries. At divergent boundaries, plates move away from each other, creating new crust. Convergent boundaries involve plates colliding, leading to the formation of mountain ranges or subduction zones. Transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other horizontally.
How does a transform boundary change the movement of tectonic plates before and after its formation?
A transform boundary is a type of plate boundary where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. Before the formation of a transform boundary, the movement of tectonic plates may have been different, such as moving towards each other at a convergent boundary or moving apart at a divergent boundary. After the formation of a transform boundary, the movement of tectonic plates changes to sliding past each other horizontally, which can cause earthquakes and create new geological features.
Where two plates move side by side?
Convergent Boundary.
Is the north American plate divergent transform or convergent?
The North American plate is mainly a convergent plate boundary, where it collides with other plates like the Pacific Plate and the Caribbean Plate. However, there are also small areas along its boundaries that exhibit transform fault boundaries, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
