Plate boundaries mark the edges of tectonic plates and are where most earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountains are formed. As the plates slowly move against each other, geological events occur along these boundaries. Plates are large sections of Earth's crust and upper mantle that move as single units above the mantle, interacting along their edges through processes like mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.

Let’s Mark the Boundaries
Plate Tectonics, Earthquake
Distribution, Active Volcanoes and Mountain Ranges World Plates and World Map Plate Boundaries Active Volcanoes E Remember: Places on earth where most of the earthquakes originated or some mountains and volcanoes were formed mark the boundaries of each lithospheric plate. Each plate is slowly moving relative to each other, causing geologic events to happen along their boundaries. Remember:
Plates are large pieces of the upper few
hundred kilometers of Earth that move as a single unit as it floats above the mantle. As plates interact along their margins, important geological processes take place, such as the formation of mountain belts, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
