Question 18
Your Answer:
Name and describe the three types of plate boundaries. In
addition to a general description of each, be sure to discuss
geologic features found at each boundary. Your answer should be
at least one paragraph in length.
The three types of plate boundaries are Divergent, Convergent and
Transform. Divergent boundaries are where the new crust is generated as
the plates pull away from each other. The crust buckles upwards and
creates mountain ranges. Convergent boundaries are where the crust is
destroyed as one plate dives under another, known as sub-suction. This
creates large earthquakes and volcanoes along the upper plate. Transform
boundaries is where the crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the
plate slide horizontally past each other. This creates deep valleys and
volcanic activity, and hot springs are normally found on these boundaries.
