According to the theory of Plate Tectonics, this is where most active volcanoes occur
What is at plate boundaries
100
Geological theory that states that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into plates that are constantly moving
What is plate tectonics
200
Tectonic force which causes plates to converge
What is compression
200
Type of tectonic force that causes plates to pull apart or diverge
What is tension
200
The border marked with a bold dashed line is between these 2 plates
What are the Eurasian and North American plates
