Chapter 7.2, Problem 2A
Summary Introduction

Whether a given figure represent a convergent, divergent or transform plate boundary.

Introduction:

The lithospheric crust is separated into several plates and is called tectonic plates. The region where plates meet or move apart is known as a plate boundary. The plate tectonic theory describes the mechanism of tectonic plates.

Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

Whether the lithospheric material along the given boundary being created, destroyed or remain unchanged.

Introduction:

There are three different types of plate boundaries based on the relative movement of the plates to the opposite side of the boundary. These are divergent plate boundary, convergent plate boundary and the transform plate boundary.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The name of the faults due to which plate movement occurs along the given boundary.

Introduction:

The divergent plate boundaries have constructive margins. The convergent plate boundaries have destructive margins, whereas the transform plate boundaries have conservative margins.
