To determine what feature formed in Area A and the type of boundary present there, we would need a clearer description of what the maps show, particularly in relation to the location marked as "Area A." However, here is a general approach to identifying these features based on typical tectonic plate interactions:
-
Features formed by tectonic activity:
- If Area A is located near a mid-ocean ridge (where tectonic plates are diverging), it may indicate the formation of a new oceanic crust.
- If Area A is situated near a subduction zone (where one plate is being pushed under another), features such as trenches or volcanic arcs may be present.
- If Area A is at a transform boundary (where plates slide past each other), there might be faults or seismic activity.
-
Types of boundaries:
- Divergent boundary: Plates move apart, leading to the formation of new crust.
- Convergent boundary: Plates move towards each other, resulting in the formation of mountains, volcanoes, or deep ocean trenches.
- Transform boundary: Plates slide past one another, often creating faults.
If you provide more specific details about the location of Area A or the geological context from the maps, I could give you a more precise answer regarding the feature and the type of boundary present.
