tectonic boundary

A tectonic boundary is a point where two of the Earth's major plates meet. These plates are large sections of the Earth's crust that move slowly over time. There are three main types of boundaries: divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where they push together, often causing earthquakes or mountain formation; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other. The movements at these boundaries are responsible for many geological events, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the creation of mountain ranges, shaping the Earth's surface over millions of years.
