Convergent Boundaries

This is a diagram of a Convergent Boundaries

Volcano’s will also form here.

Faults also form at convergent boundaries

Earthquakes will happen at Convergent boundaries.

This is an island arc. Island arcs also happen at Convergent boundaries.

Divergent Boundaries

This is a diagram of a convergent boundaries

Volcano’s will form.

Faults will form here too!

Mountain’s will also form!

Sea floor spreading is happening

Transform

Diagram

Transform Boundaries cause earthquakes

Faults are caused

Port Au Prince is transform

San Andreas Fault

Hot Spot

This is a diagram.

These are a chain of hot spots.

Volcano’s form at hot spots.

Faults also form.

Hawaii is a well known hot spot.
