Plate Boundaries andTheir Role in Earthquake- Volcano Association

Konwergent Boundaries: Strefa subduction

Konwergent boundaries are zone where tectonic plates collide, and one plate is forceat anothers in a process known as subduction. The subducting slab carrises water and hydrous minerals deep into the mantle, where pressure cause these minerals to remotase water.

Continental rifts eat arily stage of divergence where a continent begins to split apart.

Transform Boundaries

Transform boundaries occur where tectonic plates slide laterally pact one another, acquidating horizontal motion. These boundaries typically produce strike- slip threabakes with out difficiant wulcanism because there is no creation or destruction of cruct. Thee San Andreas Fault in California, a transform fault marking thee boundary between thee Bacfic and North American plates, is a prime example.
