Location 1. Intersection of boundary between the Arabian plate and the African plate.

a. The type of boundary is the divergent plate boundary or constructive plate boundary. The
relative movement of both the plate are away from each other.
b. The key landform at the plate boundaries are rift and mid oceanic ridge.
c. The key tectonics hazards that are associated with the plate boundary are 1. hot molten
(magma) rocks that arising from the mid oceanic ridges, 2. shallow focus earthquakes , 3.
widening of the ocean basin associated with fissure eruption.

Location 2. Intersection of the boundary between the Nazca plate and the South America plate.

a. The type of plate boundary is the convergent plate boundary( ocean- continent) or also called
destructive plate boundary. The both plates are moving towards each other.
b. The key landform at the plate boundary are trench, subduction zone that forms Andes
mountain, island arcs and sub marine mountain ranges etc.
c. The key tectonics hazards associated with this plate boundary are deep focus strong
earthquakes, volcanic eruption at subduction zones and island arcs etc.

Location 3- Intersection of plate boundary between the Australian-Indian plate and the
Eurasian plate.

a. The type of plate boundary is the convergent plate boundary ( continent- continent). The
Australian-Indian plate moving towards the Eurasian plate and converging into it.
b. The key landform at the plate boundary are fold mountain, subduction zones, collisonal
mountain ranges ( The Himalayas) etc.
c. The key tectonics hazards associated with this plate boundary are strong earthquakes, small
volcanic eruptions etc.

The most of the northern California bay areas consist of sedimentary rocks that are originated
at that region. And the granite rock found at the West of the bay are of the same composition.
This phenomena occurs due to the transform plate boundary and movement of plate
boundaries that past each other.

The granite rock exposures are found due to the transfom movement of plate boundary and
that's why it found at that region. And the sedimentary rocks are found due to the grinding of
two plates at the fault line that transform each other.

This is the reason why the granite rock outcrop found there even if originated elsewhere.
