Illustration of three types of movement (arrows) at tectonic plate boundaries and locations they are found on Earth. Tectonic plates moving parallel to each other (right) lead to strike-slip earthquakes with relatively little deformation. At a divergent boundary (centre) the plates move apart and molten rock rises to form new land. At a subduction zone (left), one plate moves under the other as they collide (thrust or reverse faulting).
