Question
the feature under the boundary it can be found at hint there will be two pictures under each boundary (6 points) convergent (2 pts) divergent (2 pts) transform (2 pts)
To solve this problem, we need to classify the geological features into their respective plate boundary types (Convergent, Divergent, Transform) based on our knowledge of plate tectonics:
Convergent Boundaries (2 pts)
Convergent boundaries occur where plates collide. Features here include:
- The Himalayas: Formed by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates (continental - continental convergence).
- Mt Pinatubo Eruption, June 15, 1991: Volcanic eruptions often occur at convergent boundaries (oceanic - continental or oceanic - oceanic convergence, where subduction leads to magma formation).
- Earthquake Damage from Shallow Earthquakes: Shallow earthquakes are common at convergent boundaries due to plate collision and subduction.
Divergent Boundaries (2 pts)
Divergent boundaries occur where plates move apart. Features here include:
- New Crust: At divergent boundaries (e.g., mid - ocean ridges), magma rises to form new oceanic crust as plates separate.
- (Note: If there was a mid - ocean ridge or rift valley image, it would fit. The "New Crust" image directly represents the process of divergent boundaries creating new crust.)
Transform Boundaries (2 pts)
Transform boundaries occur where plates slide past each other horizontally. Features here include:
- The Jordan Rift (or similar transform - related feature, like the San Andreas Fault - type landscape): Transform boundaries create fault - like landscapes with horizontal movement.
- The diagram with the road on a fault (showing horizontal displacement) also fits, as transform boundaries involve lateral sliding of plates, leading to fault - related landforms.
Final Categorization (example based on typical features):
- Convergent: The Himalayas, Mt Pinatubo Eruption, Earthquake Damage from Shallow Earthquakes (choose 2 as per hint: e.g., The Himalayas, Mt Pinatubo Eruption).
- Divergent: New Crust, (and another like a mid - ocean ridge diagram if present; here, New Crust is clear).
- Transform: The Jordan Rift, the fault - road diagram (choose 2: e.g., The Jordan Rift, the fault - road diagram).
(Note: The exact selection may depend on the precise interpretation of the images, but the key is to match features to the boundary type’s geological processes: collision (convergent), separation (divergent), sliding (transform).)
