Question

define the different types of plate boundaries.​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are three types of tectonic plate boundaries:

1. Plates rip apart at a divergent plate boundary, causing volcanic activity and shallow earthquakes;

2. At a convergent plate boundary, one plate dives (“subducts”) beneath the other, resulting in a variety of earthquakes and a line of volcanoes on the overriding plate;

3. Transform plate boundaries are where plates slide laterally past one another, producing shallow earthquakes but little or no volcanic activity.
