Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active continental margins are areas where tectonic activity, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, frequently occurs due to the presence of plate boundaries. These regions often have deformed marine sediments due to the intense geological processes like subduction and orogeny (mountain-building) that occur there.
