Question

  1. choose which type of boundary created each feature.

san andreas fault
○ convergent boundary
○ divergent boundary
○ transform boundary

  1. choose which type of boundary created each feature.

grand tetons (mountains)
○ convergent boundary
○ divergent boundary
○ transform boundary

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • San Andreas Fault: Transform boundaries are where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. The San Andreas Fault is a classic example of a transform boundary.
  • Grand Tetons (mountains): Convergent boundaries are where two tectonic plates move towards each other. Mountain - building (orogeny) often occurs at convergent boundaries. The Grand Tetons were formed due to tectonic activity related to a convergent boundary (in a broader sense of mountain - building processes associated with plate interactions that can be linked to convergent - like forces in the region's geological history).

Answer:

  1. transform boundary
  2. convergent boundary
