Question
identifying types of plate boundaries
what type of plate boundary is illustrated in the image?
divergent
convergent
transform
Brief Explanations
Convergent plate boundaries occur when two tectonic plates move toward each other. This can lead to one plate being forced beneath another (subduction), which is often associated with volcanic activity (as shown by the volcano in the image) and mountain - building. Divergent boundaries involve plates moving apart, and transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other.
