Question

directions: identify the type of plate boundary and the motion at boundary. type of boundary: motion at boundary: type of boundary: motion at boundary: type of boundary: motion at boundary:

Explanation:

• First Image:
• The arrows show plates moving apart. This is characteristic of a divergent boundary. At divergent boundaries, new crust is formed as magma rises to fill the gap.
• Second Image:
• The arrows show plates sliding past each other. This is a transform boundary. At transform boundaries, there is horizontal motion as plates grind against each other.
• Third Image:
• The arrows show plates moving towards each other. This is a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, one plate may be forced under another (subduction), or mountains may form if both plates are continental.

Answer:

• First Image:
• Type of Boundary: Divergent Boundary
• Motion at Boundary: Plates move apart (away from each other)
• Second Image:
• Type of Boundary: Transform Boundary
• Motion at Boundary: Plates slide past each other (horizontal motion)
• Third Image:
• Type of Boundary: Convergent Boundary
• Motion at Boundary: Plates move towards each other
