Question

study the image. which feature is modeled in the diagram? a convergent boundary is formed. two plates are forming a divergent boundary. continental plates are sliding past each other. several mid - ocean ridges are formed on earths surface.

Explanation:

• A convergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move toward each other. In the diagram, the arrows show the plates moving towards each other, which is characteristic of a convergent boundary.
• A divergent boundary is when plates move apart. The diagram does not show this.
• Continental plates sliding past each other (transform boundary) would have arrows parallel to each other in opposite directions, which is not the case here.
• Mid - ocean ridges form at divergent boundaries (oceanic - oceanic divergence), and the diagram does not depict this.

Answer:

A convergent boundary is formed.
