Different Processes that Occur Along Plate
Transform-Fault
Boundaries
At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:

• How are the processes along the plate boundaries ✓ Explain the different processes that occur
affect our lives? along plate boundaries.

• Oceanic Crust- mostly composed of basalt rocks.

• Rift valley- is a lowland region that forms where
Earth’s tectonic plates move apart or rift.
• Volcanic arc- a chains of active volcanoes that
forms above the subduction zone.

Boundaries between the plates are of three above plate boundaries.

plates composed of oceanic lithosphere.
It leads to the formation of trenches.

zone is formed. In this collision, there is a
formation of tall mountains called
Mountain Ranges.
