St. Helens. Most of the subducting plate continues into the mantle, perhaps to reappear much later at a distant divergent boundary.

Whatever drives the movement, plate tectonic activity takes place at four types of boundaries: divergent boundaries, where new crust is formed; convergent boundaries, where crust is consumed ...

The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely responsible ... creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform ...

In this type of fault, the block of rock above the fault plane, known as the hanging wall, moves downward relative to the block below, called the footwall. Normal faults are typically found at ...

In regions of convergence, one plate can sink under another in a subduction zone, or two colliding plates can form a mountain belt. At divergent boundaries, plates move away from each other and ...

These plates can be oceanic, meaning they're found mainly under the ocean, or continental ... This is called a constructive or divergent plate boundary. These are usually found under oceans.
