and convergent boundaries, like the Himalayas, where two plates collide and recycle crust. However, recent findings like this necessitate a new framework for understanding oceanic transform faults.

The highest mountain ranges on Earth - such as the Himalayas or the Andes - arise along convergent plate boundaries. At such plate boundaries two tectonic plates move toward each other ...
