Study the image of a plate boundary. The Asthenosphere is being divided by the Lithosphere on the left of the diagram. Oceanic c
rust is above the Lithosphere and continues until it reaches the Continental crust on the right. The Lithosphere layer on the right is moving left toward the Lithosphere layer on the left that is moving right and down. Two volcanoes are above the area where the lithosphere layers meet. Which feature is forming? mountain rift valley earthquake island chain
The plate boundary is pushing against each other, forcing one of the tectonic plates (the weaker one) back down. The newer plate gets pushed up, forming mountains.
