Question

which type of crustal plate boundary is shown in this diagram? divergent convergent universal transform

Explanation:

• At a divergent plate boundary, magma rises from the mantle. This is because the tectonic plates are moving apart.
• In the diagram, we can see magma rising (as indicated by the arrows). This is a key characteristic of a divergent boundary.
• At convergent boundaries, plates move towards each other (one is usually sub - ducted). At transform boundaries, plates slide past each other horizontally. There is no such thing as a "universal" plate boundary in the context of plate tectonics.

Answer:

divergent
