  • Understanding Tectonic Plate Boundaries: Types & Effects
    There are actually three types of tectonic plate boundaries, not "natypes":

    1. Convergent boundaries: Where plates collide. This can lead to mountain formation, volcanic activity, and earthquakes.

    2. Divergent boundaries: Where plates move apart. This can lead to the formation of new ocean crust, volcanic activity, and rift valleys.

    3. Transform boundaries: Where plates slide past each other horizontally. This can cause earthquakes.
