Question

look at the red arrows and label the 3 types of plate boundaries using the following terms:
convergent - move toward each other
divergent - move away from each other
transform - slide past each other

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the plate boundary at Hotspot 1 (between Eurasian and North American plates, or the boundary shown with red arrows at position 1).

Step 1: Recall Plate Boundary Definitions
  • Convergent: Plates move toward each other.
  • Divergent: Plates move away from each other.
  • Transform: Plates slide past each other.
Step 2: Analyze the Red Arrows at Hotspot 1

The red arrows at Hotspot 1 (between the Eurasian and North American plates in the North Atlantic region) are moving away from each other (consistent with the Mid - Atlantic Ridge, a divergent boundary where new oceanic crust is formed as plates separate).

Answer:

Divergent
