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
