Natural Landforms
Volcanos
a mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapour, and gas are or have been erupted from the earth's crust.
Ocean trench
a long, narrow, deep depression in the ocean bed, typically one running parallel to a plate boundary and marking a subduction zone.
Mountains
a landform that rises prominently above its surroundings, generally exhibiting steep slopes, a relatively confined summit area, and considerable local relief

Plate boundaries
Converging
Where tectonic plates converge, the one with thin oceanic crust subducts beneath the one capped by thick continental crust.
Earthquakes, volcanos, mountains
Transform
causes a fault between two plates of the lithosphere, which will slide past one another

Mgnetic striping
when the sea floor is spreading, and magma from the mantle is rising through the Earth's crust
Seafloor spreding
the formation of fresh areas of oceanic crust which occurs through the upwelling of magma at mid-ocean ridges and its subsequent outward movement on either side.
