Question

Give 5 areas in your locality that demonstrated or have shown movements of the plates​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tectonic Plates and Plate Boundaries

There are three main types of plate boundaries:

Convergent boundaries: where two plates are colliding.

Divergent boundaries – where two plates are moving apart.

Transform boundaries – where plates slide passed each other.

Answer 2

The areas in locality showing movements are:

Explanation:

The areas in locality showing movements are:

1. swimming pool
2. flat interior
3. society ground
4. parking lot

There are 3 main plate movements:

• 1. Divergent (Spreading): When two plates move away from each other, this is known as spreading.
• New crust is formed as molten rock from the mantle erupts along the opening.
• The spreading centres, or earthquakes that occur along these zones, are generally minor.

• 2. When plates move towards one other and collide, this is known as convergent (colliding).
• When a continental plate collides with an oceanic plate, the oceanic plate dips beneath the thicker,
• more rigid continental plate because it is thinner, denser, and more flexible.
• This is referred to as subduction.

• 3. A transform or lateral fault occurs when two tectonic plates travel past each other and collide.
