About this illustration

A simple three-panel educational diagram illustrating the three types of tectonic plate boundaries. Panel 1 (Convergent boundary) shows an oceanic plate subducting beneath a continental plate, forming a trench and a volcano with a magma channel. Panel 2 (Divergent boundary) shows two oceanic plates pulling apart at a mid-ocean ridge with magma upwelling. Panel 3 (Transform boundary) shows two plates sliding horizontally past each other along a fault line. Each panel includes a real-world example with a small illustration.
