Question
Choose the correct responses, to describe the three different types of plate boundaries.(3 points)
At a
, the plates slides past each other. At a
, the plates collide, leading to subduction and the formation of mountains. At a
, two plates move away from each other. When this happens, magma (hot, melted rock) rises up from inside the Earth. This magma cools and hardens, creating new land. This is how new oceanic crust is formed. This causes cracks in the ground and sometimes volcanic eruptions.

At a transform boundary, the plates slide past each other.
At a convergent boundary, the plates collide, leading to subduction and the formation of mountains.
At a divergent boundary, two plates move away from each other; magma rises, cools, and forms new oceanic crust, causing cracks and sometimes volcanic eruptions.
