Which features form along all types of plate boundaries?

Faults

Faults are cracks in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side have moved past each other. These fractures are a common feature found at plate boundaries.

Rift Valleys

Rift valleys are long, narrow depressions formed by the stretching and pulling apart of the Earth's crust at divergent plate boundaries. These valleys are a result of tectonic forces pulling the crust apart.

Mountains

Mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collide and push against each other, causing the crust to buckle and fold. This collision creates large geological features that are prominent along plate boundaries where plates converge.

Ocean Ridges

Ocean ridges are underwater mountain ranges that form at divergent plate boundaries, where plates move away from each other. These features are a result of volcanic activity and the spreading of the ocean floor.
