What types of geologic features are found at convergent plate boundaries?

How does new crust form at diverging tectonic plates?

Mantle rises to fill the gap and cools into rock.

What distinguishes convergent boundaries from divergent boundaries?

Convergent boundaries involve colliding plates, while divergent boundaries involve plates moving apart.

What geological activity is associated with sliding plate boundaries?

Earthquakes often occur due to friction.
