Definitions:

Transform Faulting

The process of two tectonic plates sliding past each other along a transform fault, leading to significant horizontal displacement.

Seafloor Spreading

The process by which two oceanic plates move apart and new magmatic material is added between the plates.

Continental Rifting

The pulling apart of a continent, forming a low, fault-bounded trough (continental rift); may lead to a divergent plate boundary that leads to seafloor spreading and splitting apart a continent.

Continental Shelves

Submerged landforms at the edges of continents, extending from the coastline to a sharp drop-off into the deeper ocean floor.
