Match the types of boundaries between tectonic plates by matching the pictures to the term. (Answer using capital letters)
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to match images that represent different types of tectonic plate boundaries with their corresponding terms: Convergent, Transform, and Divergent. This involves identifying characteristics of each plate boundary type as depicted in the images.
Answer
A: Transform, B: Convergent, C: Divergent
A matches with Transform, B matches with Convergent, and C matches with Divergent.
Answer for screen readers
A matches with Transform, B matches with Convergent, and C matches with Divergent.
More Information
Each type of boundary has distinct geological features: transform boundaries feature lateral motion, convergent boundaries result in subduction zones and mountains, and divergent boundaries form rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing convergent and divergent boundaries. Remember convergent means moving together, creating subduction zones, while divergent means moving apart, creating rift valleys.
