Landforms associated with plate boundariesPraag Dogra

Collision plate boundary

Also known as convergent or destructive boundaries They see the formation of fold mountains, anticlines and synclines (geosynclines) For example, on the Indo-Australian into the Eurasian plate

Subduction plate boundary

Also known as convergent boundaries e.g. Nazca and S. American These also see the formation of fold mountains Also acid lava volcanoes Island arcs And Ocean trenches

Accretionary prisms can also be found on an oceanic to oceanic convergence

Conservative plate boundary

Also known as Strike-slip or transform faults They have medium sized mountains Also transform faults perpendicular to the main fault For example the San Andreas fault line

Constructive plate boundary

Also known as divergent They see mid-ocean ridges Fissure type eruptions Transform faults too For example the Indian Mid-Ocean Ridge
