Question 16 22 Obsidian is an extrusive igneous rock excellent for making arrowheads. Question 17 2/2pts Plates can include either continental crust or oceanic crust, but not both. False Question 18 Not yet graded / 5 pts || Name and describe the threetypes of lte boundrtes. In addition o @ general descrption of each, be sue o discuss geologic features found at each boundary. Your answer should be at least one paragraph in length. Your Answer: The three types of plate boundaries are: divergent boundary, convergent boundary and the transform boundaries | The divergent boundary is the separation between two plates when moving in opposite directions from each other. Our text states that the most common form of divergent boundary is the ocean ridge. Within the ocean, the magma rises and forms new lithosphere capped by basaltic ocean crust. On land, it called a continental rit. The convergent boundary is when the two plates move towards one another. There are three kinds stated in our text; they are continental-continental, continental-oceanic and oceanic-oceanic. In a continental-oceanic convergence, when the plates collide, they create an ocean trench and produce earthquakes. The text describes the continental-continental convergence as a collision between two plates where neither can subduct. This causes the creation of mountain ranges. | The final type is the transform boundaries. The text tells us that this is when the plates move alongside of one another, similar to a | rafc patter, in opposite dirctions without spliting apart o calling. There are two diferent places tha these boundaries can be observed - the most common being near the ocean ridges. On land, the more rare transform boundary is labelled a fracture zone.
