Question

the place where two tectonic plates meet is a(n) ____.
○ geographic edge
○ trough
○ earthwork
○ plate boundary

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Geographic edge: This term is too general and not specific to tectonic plates.
  • Trough: A trough is a long, narrow depression, often in the ocean floor, but not related to where tectonic plates meet.
  • Earthwork: Earthwork refers to human - made structures using soil or rock, not a geological feature of tectonic plates.
  • Plate boundary: By definition, the place where two tectonic plates meet is called a plate boundary. There are different types of plate boundaries such as divergent (plates moving apart), convergent (plates moving towards each other), and transform (plates sliding past each other).

Answer:

plate boundary
