Answer 1

According to the ‘Theory of Tectonics’, when some plates move away from each other,

which of the following is formed ? 1

(a) Convergent boundary (b) Divergent boundary

(c) Transform boundary (d) None of the above

A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving toward each other. If the two plates are of equal density, they usually push up against each other, forming a mountain chain. If they are of unequal density, one plate usually sinks beneath the other in a subduction zone.
