Convergent Plate Boundaries

Regions where two tectonic plates move towards each other, often resulting in mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.

Divergent Plate Boundaries

Places on Earth's surface where tectonic plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of new crust as magma rises and solidifies.

Continental Rifts

Large-scale geological features that form when tectonic plates in the Earth's crust move apart, leading to the formation of new ocean basins or rift valleys.

Continental Crust

The thick part of the Earth's crust that forms the continents and continental shelves, characterized by a composition distinct from that of the oceanic crust.
