Plate margins
  1. Fold mountains
    1. Earthquakes created by fold mountains
      1. Two continental rocks push together
        1. Create an enormous pressure
          1. In this pressure line earthquakes are created
        2. Tsunami created.
        3. Conservative
          1. Enter text here
            1. The two plates slide past eachother
              1. Sometimes the plates stick then suddenly move
                1. This causes an earthquake
              2. Very slow process
              3. Destructive plates
                1. On these boundaries there are often big earthquakes
                  1. Sometimes they will create a big tsunami
                    1. Eg./ the Indian Ocean tsunami
                    2. At this boundary an island arc is usually found, on a mountain range
                    3. Constructive margins
                      1. When two plates move apart a new crust is developed
                        1. Mostly in oceans
                          1. They can be found on land
