Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transform faults are the only type of plate boundary where plates move horizontally past each other. At convergent plate boundaries, plates collide and one is subducted beneath the other. At divergent plate boundaries, plates move away from each other. The rift valley is a feature formed at divergent plate boundaries. Hot spots are not associated with plate boundaries, but instead are locations where magma rises from the mantle to the Earth's surface.
