Which plate boundary is represented?

Convergent Boundary

Description and Results Two plates are colliding together This movement can create: ocean trenches, earthquakes, subduction, volcanoes and other mountains Two plates are colliding together This movement can create: ocean trenches, earthquakes, subduction, volcanoes and other mountains

Which plate boundary is represented?

Divergent Boundary

Description and Results In a divergent boundary, the two tectonic plates separate. Results: rift valleys, mid-ocean ridges, new crust is formed In a divergent boundary, the two tectonic plates separate. Results: rift valleys, mid-ocean ridges, new crust is formed

Transform Boundary

Description and Results At a transform boundary, one plate is sliding past another. This type of plate motion is associated with earthquakes and faulting (breaking of the crust). At a transform boundary, one plate is sliding past another. This type of plate motion is associated with earthquakes and faulting (breaking of the crust).
