Answer to Question 1

The transport of the products of weathering to basins where sediment accumulates is called erosion.

Answer to Question 2

There are three types of plate boundaries (or margins): divergent, convergent, and transform. At divergent margins, lithospheric plates are moving away from each other. At convergent margins, plates are moving toward each other. At transform margins, plates are slipping past each other. Each boundary type is represented differently at Earth's surface. In other words, each type of plate margin is reflected in distinctive surface features: mid-ocean ridges, deep-sea trenches, and transform faults, respectively.
