Question

use the drop down menus to answer the questions.
in what type of plate boundary did subduction occur?
in what type of plate boundary did new crust form?
in what type of plate boundary did mountains form?
in what type of plate boundary did volcanoes form?
in what type of plate boundary did a river change its path?
convergent boundary
divergent boundary
transform boundary

Explanation:

1. Subduction: Convergent boundaries involve one plate subducting (diving) under another.
2. New crust formation: Divergent boundaries have plates moving apart, allowing magma to rise and form new crust.
3. Mountain formation: Convergent boundaries (e.g., continental - continental collision) push plates together, creating mountains.
4. Volcano formation: Convergent boundaries (oceanic - continental or oceanic - oceanic) can cause subduction, leading to volcanic activity, and divergent boundaries (like mid - ocean ridges) also have volcanic activity as new crust forms.
5. River path change: Transform boundaries involve plates sliding past each other, which can cause earthquakes that shift the land and change a river's path.

Answer:

• In what type of plate boundary did subduction occur? Convergent boundary
• In what type of plate boundary did new crust form? Divergent boundary
• In what type of plate boundary did mountains form? Convergent boundary
• In what type of plate boundary did volcanoes form? Convergent boundary (or Divergent boundary, but Convergent is more common for non - mid - ocean - ridge volcanoes)
• In what type of plate boundary did a river change its path? Transform boundary
