Question

drag and drop the words to accurately label the list of plate boundary characteristics. plates move toward each other. crust is destroyed. causes: volcanoes, mountains, earthquakes, islands, trenches. plates move away from each other. crust can be created. causes: rift zones, mid - ocean ridges, seafloor spreading. plates slide past each other. crust neither created nor destroyed. causes: earthquakes

Explanation:

Convergent plate boundaries occur when plates move toward each other, destroying crust and causing volcanoes, mountains, earthquakes, islands, and trenches. Divergent plate boundaries are where plates move away from each other, creating new crust in rift zones and mid - ocean ridges with seafloor spreading. Transform plate boundaries involve plates sliding past each other, with crust neither created nor destroyed, mainly causing earthquakes.

Answer:

1. Plates move toward each other, crust is destroyed, causes: volcanoes, mountains, earthquakes, islands, trenches: convergent
2. Plates move away from each other, crust can be created, causes: rift zones, mid - ocean ridges, seafloor spreading: divergent
3. Plates slide past each other, crust neither created nor destroyed, causes: earthquakes: transform
