To help visualize the future positions of the star and triangle as the tectonic plates continue to move, let's break down the general movement of tectonic plates at convergent boundaries, where mountains are formed:

  1. Convergent Boundaries: At a convergent boundary, tectonic plates move toward each other. This can result in one plate being forced over or under another, a process known as subduction. Over time, the collision leads to the uplift of land and the formation of mountains.

  2. Future Positions: As plates continue to move, points marked by a star and a triangle on these plates will also shift. If we assume:

    • The star is on one of the colliding plates, it will move toward the point of collision (the boundary) and eventually be raised up as the mountains form.
    • The triangle, if it is on the other plate, will also experience a similar movement but might shift in the opposite direction depending on the specific dynamics of the movement.

Since I don’t have the specifics of the positioning of the star and triangle or a visual reference of the diagram, I can't provide exact future coordinates for their locations. However, in a simplified conceptual model:

  • The star would move closer to the boundary, potentially upwards as mountains rise.
  • The triangle might also shift towards the boundary but will depend on which plate it is located on and the overall direction of movement.

Both will ultimately be located closer to the boundary in the future, and their relative positions will evolve based on their original locations and the specifics of the tectonic interaction.

For a more precise answer, it would be necessary to see the diagram and have more details about the locations of the star and triangle in relation to the tectonic plates.

Plate one has A at the top B at the right side C at the bottom and D at the left and plate two has 1 at the top 2 at the right side 3 at the bottom and 4 at the left side, my answer choices are B and 4, D and 2, A and 4 and C and 1

Thank you for providing the details about the positions of the points on both plates. Given the layout you described:

  • Plate One has points:

    • A (top)
    • B (right)
    • C (bottom)
    • D (left)
  • Plate Two has points:

    • 1 (top)
    • 2 (right)
    • 3 (bottom)
    • 4 (left)

Since the two plates are converging towards each other, we can analyze the potential future positions.

  1. Movement Direction: Typically, at a convergent plate boundary, the plates move toward each other. This means that the points on both plates that are towards the boundary will also move closer together.

  2. Identifying Future Positions:

    • If point B on Plate One (right) moves toward the boundary, it will likely shift toward point 2 on Plate Two (right).
    • Point D on Plate One (left) would approach point 4 on Plate Two (left).
    • Point A (top) could potentially get closer to point 1 on Plate Two (top).
    • Point C (bottom) would likely get closer to point 3 on Plate Two (bottom).

Given the choices provided, we can see:

  • The movements imply that B on Plate One would move towards 2 on Plate Two, and D on Plate One might move towards 4 on Plate Two.

Therefore, from the answer choices provided, the one that best describes the future proximity as the plates converge would be:

B and 2 or D and 4.

Since both B and 2 and D and 4 could plausibly correlate based on their movements, the correct choice according to the typical movements at these boundaries would be:

B and 2.

However, if you are asked for a single pair based upon the options, then the choice will depend on their exact future locations relative to the convergence action. If the focus was on those right-side points, then B and 2 would be likely, but if left-side movements towards 4 were more highlighted, then D and 4 could also be valid.

Thus, please assess the dynamics and likely proximity your scenario aligns with best, according to your context.

So what answer is it?

Given the arrangement you provided and the context of tectonic plate movement:

  • B (Plate One) is at the right side.
  • 2 (Plate Two) is also at the right side.

As these plates converge, B from Plate One will move toward 2 from Plate Two.

Therefore, the best answer choice among those you listed is:

B and 2.

This indicates that in the future, point B on Plate One will be closer to point 2 on Plate Two as the plates move together.

There's only B and 4, D and 2, A and 4, C and 1

Thank you for clarifying the answer choices. Based on the locations you described for the points on both tectonic plates and their future movement, let’s analyze the options you provided:

  • B and 4
  • D and 2
  • A and 4
  • C and 1

Given that Plate One is moving towards Plate Two:

  1. If B (right side of Plate One) moves closer to the nearest boundary, it will likely move towards point 2 (right side of Plate Two) but that isn't an option.

  2. D (left side of Plate One) would move closer to point 4 (left side of Plate Two).

  3. A (top of Plate One) would move towards point 1 (top of Plate Two).

  4. C (bottom of Plate One) would move towards point 3 (bottom of Plate Two).

Since the answer choices are limited to pairs, and considering the movement direction typically associated with converging tectonic plates:

  • Since D (left) has a direct relationship with 4 (left), this pair makes the most sense because they would both shift towards each other as the plates converge.

Thus, the best answer among the options given is:

D and 4.

there is no d and 4 there's only
A - B and 4
B - D and 2
C - A and 4
D - C and 1

Thank you for your patience and clarification! Based on the options provided:

  1. B and 4
  2. D and 2
  3. A and 4
  4. C and 1

Analyzing the Options:

  1. B and 4:

    • B is at the right side of Plate One, while 4 is at the left side of Plate Two. This doesn't seem likely as they are moving towards the boundary.
  2. D and 2:

    • D is at the left side of Plate One, which is moving toward the right. 2 is at the right side of Plate Two. This could make sense if they are moving towards each other, but isn't directly logical.
  3. A and 4:

    • A is at the top of Plate One and 4 is at the left side of Plate Two. This doesn’t seem fitting because they are not positioned to converge together directly.
  4. C and 1:

    • C is at the bottom of Plate One, and 1 is at the top of Plate Two. As both plates converge, C at the bottom could eventually move up towards where 1 is located, depending on the geological events and movements.

Conclusion:

In terms of how tectonic plates typically interact at convergent boundaries, the most plausible option, considering mounting pressures and the upward push due to convergence, would be:

C and 1.

Again, I appreciate your clarification, and I apologize for the earlier misunderstandings!
