7. What is the movement of plates towards each other and which collide or slide under one
another called?
8. What is the movement of plates away from each other called?
9. What is the movement of plates that move horizontally past each other or in a 'Z' pattern
called?​

Answer 1

A7) Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide. These are also known as compressional or destructive boundaries. Subduction zones occur where an oceanic plate meets a continental plate and is pushed underneath it. Subduction zones are marked by oceanic trenches.

A8) Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide. These are also known as compressional or destructive boundaries.

A9) When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed. No new crust is created or subducted, and no volcanoes form, but earthquakes occur along the fault.

Answer 2

Convergent plates slides under one another and divergent move away from one another, while transform boundary move in a parallel or Z pattern.

Explanation:

• Those plates that tend to collide and then fall under one another through the process of subduction and melt in the asthenosphere are said to be convergent plate boundary and present zones of active plate displacement.

• While those plates that move away for each other in a different direction often spread apart are called divergent plates and this boundary is marked by the spreading of the lavas from the mod oceanic ridges.

• Plates that slide past one another are called a transform boundary or transform fault and is seen in California. They have a Z shaped pattern and are in dextral motion.
