Question

6 continental - continental - strike slip (we called this a transform boundary)
a. describe the movement of the plates
b. which feature forms by this movement?

  1. oceanic - oceanic - convergence

a. describe the movement of the plates
b. which feature forms by this movement?

  1. oceanic - oceanic - divergence

a. describe the movement of the plates
b. which feature forms by this movement?

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

6a. At a continental - continental strike - slip (transform) boundary, the plates slide past each other horizontally.
6b. Faults, such as the San Andreas Fault, form due to this horizontal sliding motion.
7a. In oceanic - oceanic convergence, one oceanic plate subducts beneath another. The denser plate sinks into the mantle.
7b. Deep - sea trenches and island arcs form. The subduction creates a trench, and volcanic activity above the subduction zone forms island arcs.
8a. In oceanic - oceanic divergence, the oceanic plates move apart from each other.
8b. Mid - ocean ridges form as magma rises up to fill the gap created by the separating plates, creating new oceanic crust.

Answer:

6a. The plates slide past each other horizontally.
6b. Faults.
7a. One oceanic plate subducts beneath another.
7b. Deep - sea trenches and island arcs.
8a. The plates move apart from each other.
8b. Mid - ocean ridges.
