Plate Margins
Plate margins are the boundaries where tectonic plates meet. These areas are zones of intense geological activity because the plates are interacting. There are different types of plate margins: constructive (where plates move apart), destructive (where plates move towards each other and one sinks), and transform (where plates slide past each other horizontally).
