Transform plate boundaries are tectonic regions where two lithospheric plates slide horizontally past each other along strike-slip faults.

Transform plate boundaries are one of the three primary types of tectonic plate interactions, alongside divergent and convergent boundaries. Transform boundaries are characterized by horizontal motion between two plates, resulting in a transform fault.

Some beautiful tectonic activity - folded limestone and shales!

From lightest (oldest) to darkest (youngest) tectonic plates. No, I do not differentiate the sea and land plates, hence the numbers as markings (also easier ID without colors). The third one is a bit darker than the second one IRL.

page 553 - I breathe again and the mountains have changed.

Imperceptibly but definitely.

Time loses meaning in the darkness down here. But still my brain spins and my heart races and it's good to breathe deeply, to slow down and to attempt a better grasp on things.

The air is murky, but there is no food and water only in drips, so a deep breath is the only thing available to fill me up.

A 40 Yr. mistake AND iam STILL THINKING ABOUT Aspirational Visions? CANCELED? CULTURE? BLEND IT 4 MEME ai or is this 4 real?

someone probably pointed that out already but notice how the american continents are having huge mountains all along their western coasts? that's because tectonic movement aka continental drift is pushing them west, right into the Pacific ocean which is also super fucking old. the Atlantic ocean is way younger, as it only developed when legendary motherfucker Pangea broke apart. anyway I checked them numbers & the Pacific Ocean has an average depth of 3.9 km while the Atlantic Ocean stands at 3.2 km, so it's really not that different, you'll still drown

Divergent boundary, also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary, is a linear geologic feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.

"The Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona in the north-eastern part of the country covers a mountainous area of 32,850 ha which features seven peaks that rise above 3,000 m. The area displays an exceptional example of mountain building through continental collision and features excellent geological sections through tectonic thrust, i.e. the process whereby older, deeper rocks are carried onto younger, shallower rocks. The site is distinguished by the clear three-dimensional exposure of the structures and processes that characterize this phenomenon and has been a key site for the geological sciences since the 18th century. The Glarus Alps are glaciated mountains rising dramatically above narrow river valleys and are the site of the largest post-glacial landslide in the Central Alpine region." - UNESCO
