Group the labels according to the type of plate boundary they describe.

Divergent
Both
Convergent

1 answer

Divergent:
- Divergent boundaries occur when two plates move away from each other. This leads to the formation of new crust as magma rises to fill the gap. Examples of labels that describe divergent boundaries include "Mid-Atlantic Ridge" and "East African Rift."

Both:
- Both boundaries, also known as transform boundaries, occur when two plates slide past each other horizontally. They do not create or destroy crust, but they can result in significant earthquakes. Examples of labels that describe both boundaries include "San Andreas Fault" and "North Anatolian Fault."

Convergent:
- Convergent boundaries occur when two plates collide or come together. Depending on the types of plates involved (oceanic-oceanic, oceanic-continental, or continental-continental), various geological features can form, such as trenches, volcanic arcs, or mountain ranges. Examples of labels that describe convergent boundaries include "Andes Mountains" and "Aleutian Trench."
