Match each feature on Earth with the correct plate boundary.

Question

You know that Earth's crust is divided into tectonic plates that moves via convection cells within the mantle. As these plates move, three kinds of plate boundaries are formed: divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. Not only do these boundaries form, specific events occur at these boundaries.
Put responses in the correct input to answer the question. Select a response, navigate to the desired input and insert the response. Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can also be moved by dragging with a mouse.

Answer 1

Here are the correct matches for each feature with their corresponding plate boundary:

• Convergent boundary:

  • Two continental plates meet and formed folded mountains.
  • Himalayan Mountains

• Divergent boundary:

  • The largest known group of volcanoes on Earth is found underwater along the portion of the East Pacific Rise.
  • Mid-Ocean Ridge

• Transform boundary:

  • This boundary is the site of recurring earthquake activity and faulting.
  • San Andreas Fault

So, you would assign the features as follows:

• Convergent boundary: Two continental plates meet and formed folded mountains, Himalayan Mountains
• Divergent boundary: The largest known group of volcanoes on Earth is found underwater along the portion of the East Pacific Rise, Mid-Ocean Ridge
• Transform boundary: This boundary is the site of recurring earthquake activity and faulting, San Andreas Fault
