_ | mountains are built
or subduction

| 3.
transform
boundary | plates slide past one
another. | 7.
_ | fault |

Explanation:

1. For divergent boundaries: Plates move apart, creating new crust as magma rises.
2. For convergent boundaries: Plates collide, leading to crust building up or being pushed under another plate, forming large landforms or trenches.
3. For transform boundaries: Plates sliding past each other grind and fracture the crust.

Answer:

Plate Boundary	Type of Motion	Effect on Crust	Feature(s) Formed
2. convergent boundary	5. Plates move toward each other.	Mountains are built or subduction occurs	8. Mountains, volcanoes, ocean trenches
3. transform boundary	Plates slide past one another.	7. Crust is fractured/ground up.	Fault (e.g., San Andreas Fault)
