25. "__________ are borders between two tectonic plates that are moving apart from each other.
26. Along divergent boundaries, tectonic plates are moving ________ from each other, creating new oceanic crust. This process
is also known as seafloor spreading.
27. __________ boundaries occur when two tectonic plates slide past each other in opposite directions. The San Andreas
Fault in California is an example of this type of boundary.
28. Along convergent boundaries, two tectonic plates __________ into each other.
29. When tectonic plates move __________ each other, a subduction zone may form as one plate should go under the other
due to the differences in density.
30. The type of stress associated with divergent plate boundaries is _________________.
31. __________ boundaries occur when two tectonic plates move away from each other. The process by which this occurs
is known as seafloor spreading and can lead to the formation of mid-ocean ridges. An example of this type of boundary is the East
African Rift Valley.
32. The process by which two tectonic plates move towards each other and collide is known as_____________.
33. A __________ boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move parallel to each other in opposite directions, without any
vertical movement. An example of this type of boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
34. The type of stress associated with transform boundaries is ___________.
