Question

match the name of the tectonic plate boundary with their specific movement.
plates push against each other
plates pull away from each other
plates slide past each other
transform plate boundary
convergent plate boundary
divergent plate boundary

Explanation:

1. Convergent Plate Boundary: At a convergent boundary, tectonic plates push against each other (this can lead to subduction or mountain - building, like the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates to form the Himalayas). So the description "Plates push against each other" matches with Convergent Plate Boundary.
2. Divergent Plate Boundary: In a divergent boundary, tectonic plates move away from each other (for example, the Mid - Atlantic Ridge where new oceanic crust is formed as plates pull apart). So the description "Plates pull away from each other" matches with Divergent Plate Boundary.
3. Transform Plate Boundary: At a transform boundary, tectonic plates slide past each other (such as the San Andreas Fault in California). So the description "Plates slide past each other" matches with Transform Plate Boundary.

Answer:

• "Plates push against each other" - Convergent Plate Boundary
• "Plates pull away from each other" - Divergent Plate Boundary
• "Plates slide past each other" - Transform Plate Boundary
