Question
the place where two tectonic plates meet is a(n) ____.
○ geographic edge
○ trough
○ earthwork
○ plate boundary
Brief Explanations
- Geographic edge: This term is too general and not specific to tectonic plates.
- Trough: A trough is a long, narrow depression, often in the ocean floor, but not related to where tectonic plates meet.
- Earthwork: Earthwork refers to human - made structures using soil or rock, not a geological feature of tectonic plates.
- Plate boundary: By definition, the place where two tectonic plates meet is called a plate boundary. There are different types of plate boundaries such as divergent (plates moving apart), convergent (plates moving towards each other), and transform (plates sliding past each other).
