Whether a given figure represent convergent, divergent or transform plate boundary.
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.
a.
To determine:
Whether the plates along the given boundary move apart or together.
Introduction:
The plates move continuously in constant motion, and the motion is relative to each other. Most of the major interactions occur along these boundaries.
b.
To determine:
The each given diagram and label them with the appropriate term.
Introduction:
Tectonic plates move continuously in a constant and extremely slow movement. These movements are the main cause of land separation, island formation, and many other natural phenomena.
c.
To determine:
The example of each type of convergent boundary.
Introduction:
The convergent boundaries are classified into three types based on the point of intersection of plates. These are oceanic-continental, oceanic-oceanic and continental-continental convergence.
