1. “boundaries” tab

in the interactive key box, click the convergent, divergent and transform buttons to show these boundaries on
the map. answer the questions below.

1. convergent boundaries

a. describe how the plates are moving in a convergent boundary
b. where on the map are convergent boundaries?

1. divergent boundaries

a. describe how the plates are moving in a divergent boundary
b. where on the map are divergent boundaries?

1. transform boundaries

a. describe how the plates are moving in a transform boundary
b. where on the map are transform boundaries?

Explanation:

Convergent boundaries have plates moving towards each other. Divergent boundaries have plates moving away from each other. Transform boundaries have plates sliding past each other horizontally. To answer the 'where on the map' questions, one would need to access the specific map in the provided link and look for the visual - indicators of these boundaries.

Answer:

1. a. In a convergent boundary, the tectonic plates move towards each other.

b. This requires looking at the specific map in the provided link to identify locations.

1. a. In a divergent boundary, the tectonic plates move away from each other.

b. This requires looking at the specific map in the provided link to identify locations.

1. a. In a transform boundary, the tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.

b. This requires looking at the specific map in the provided link to identify locations.
