What happens at a transform boundary?
plates grind past each other without destroying the lithosphere
100
What is a shield volcanoes
A bored gently sloping volcanoes and built from fluid basaltic lavas

Where are most divergent boundaries located?
Along the crests of oceanic ridges

What is a composite cone?
Large, nearly symmetrical structure composed of layers of both lava and pyroclastic materials.
