It seems like you're referencing a visual that I can't see. However, I can help you with general information about the three main types of plate boundaries and their associated land features. Here are the key points for each type:

  1. Convergent Boundaries:

    • Definition: Plates move toward each other.
    • Features: Mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, volcanic arcs.
    • Example: Himalayas (mountains formed), Mariana Trench (ocean trench).

  2. Divergent Boundaries:

    • Definition: Plates move away from each other.
    • Features: Mid-ocean ridges, rift valleys.
    • Example: Mid-Atlantic Ridge (underwater mountain range).

  3. Transform Boundaries:

    • Definition: Plates slide past each other.
    • Features: Fault lines, earthquakes.
    • Example: San Andreas Fault (a significant strike-slip fault).

You can match the terms and land features based on the descriptions above. If you provide me with the specific terms and land features, I could help you arrange them more accurately.
