Question

Identify the plate boundary at which each land form, or event, can occur. There may be more than one answer for each land form/event. (3 points) Ocean Trench New Sea Floor Earthquakes Rift Valley Divergent Transform Convergent

Answer 1

Here are the plate boundaries associated with each landform or event:

1. **Ocean Trench**:
- **Convergent boundary** (where one tectonic plate is subducting beneath another).

2. **New Sea Floor**:
- **Divergent boundary** (where tectonic plates are moving apart and magma rises to form new oceanic crust).

3. **Earthquakes**:
- **Transform boundary** (where two plates slide past each other).
- **Convergent boundary** (where plates collide, often resulting in significant seismic activity).
- **Divergent boundary** (earthquakes can also occur here due to tectonic movements).

4. **Rift Valley**:
- **Divergent boundary** (formed when tectonic plates are moving apart, often resulting in the rifting of the continental crust).

In summary:
- **Ocean Trench**: Convergent
- **New Sea Floor**: Divergent
- **Earthquakes**: Transform, Convergent, Divergent
- **Rift Valley**: Divergent
