Question

a. Two plates collided to form a transform plate boundary.
b. Two plates collide to form a convergent plate boundary.
c. Two plates collided to form a divergent plate boundary.
d. Two plates collide to form a subduction boundary.

Answer 1

b. Two plates collide to form a convergent plate boundary.

Answer 2
