1 answer

To match the terms and land features with the correct plate boundaries, let's identify the three main types of plate boundaries and the corresponding features typically associated with each:

  1. Divergent Boundaries:

    • Features: Mid-ocean ridges, rift valleys
    • Terms: Seafloor spreading, new crust formation
  2. Convergent Boundaries:

    • Features: Mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs
    • Terms: Subduction, collision of tectonic plates
  3. Transform Boundaries:

    • Features: Fault lines (like the San Andreas Fault)
    • Terms: Lateral sliding, earthquakes

Please provide the specific land features and terms you want to match with these boundaries, and I'll help you organize them accordingly!
