Generation

# Plate Boundaries and Landforms Plate boundaries are locations where Earth's tectonic plates meet and interact, driven by convection currents in the mantle. There are three main types: **divergent boundaries** (plates move apart, creating mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys), **convergent boundaries** (plates collide, forming mountains, volcanoes, and ocean trenches), and **transform boundaries** (plates slide past each other, causing earthquakes along fault lines). **Key formula**: The rate of plate motion can be calculated as: **v = d/t** (velocity = distance/time), typically measured in cm/year These boundary interactions are responsible for most of Earth's major landforms, including the Himalayas, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and the San Andreas Fault.
