Question

drag and drop each word or phrase into the type of plate boundary it describes.
forms mid - ocean ridges
plates collide
volcanoes and mountains
earthquakes
plates move apart
plates slide past each other
divergent boundary
convergent boundary
transform boundary

Explanation:

• Divergent Boundary: At divergent boundaries, tectonic plates move apart. This process forms mid - ocean ridges as new crust is created.
• Convergent Boundary: When plates collide (convergent boundary), it can lead to the formation of volcanoes and mountains (if continental - continental collision or oceanic - continental collision where subduction leads to magma formation for volcanoes).
• Transform Boundary: Plates slide past each other at transform boundaries, and this movement is associated with earthquakes.

Answer:

• Divergent Boundary: plates move apart, forms mid - ocean ridges
• Convergent Boundary: plates collide, volcanoes and mountains
• Transform Boundary: plates slide past each other, earthquakes
