Question

Name the three types of plate boundaries found on Earth. For each plate boundary describe the motion associated with that boundary, at least one process (the activity that occurs there, e.g. subduction, spreading, etc.), the geologic feature that results from that process, and a geographic example.

Answer 1

The three main plate boundaries are:

Convergent boundaries:, Divergent boundaries, Transform boundaries

The meanings of them are below!

*Where two plates are colliding. Subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust.

*Where two plates are moving apart.

*Where plates slide passed each other.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Name the three types of plate boundaries found on Earth. For each plate boundary describe the motion associated with that boundary, at least one process (the activity that occurs there, e.g. subduction, spreading, etc.), the geologic feature that results from that process, and a geographic example.

• The three different kinds of plate boundaries that exist on Earth. Describe the movements of each plate boundary, at least one process (such as subduction, spreading, etc.), the geologic feature produced by that process, and a geographic location for each plate boundary.
• There are never any gaps between plates, which is vital to note when discussing processes at plate boundaries. There is never a substantial distance between the plates, which are composed of crust and the lithospheric portion of the mantle and move constantly in various directions. Since the asthenosphere is the zone of partial melting, plates are thought to move along the lithosphere-asthenosphere border. The lithospheric plates are thought to slide more easily because of the partial melting zone's greater weakness.
• A convergent plate boundary is created when two tectonic plates clash. Subduction is the process of one of the convergent plates moving beneath the other.
• At least three different types of earthquakes are triggered by the forces brought on by plate convergence in subduction zones. These earthquakes are deep, megathrust, and outer rise earthquakes. Subduction zones, which cause the planet's deepest earthquakes, are known for their abnormally deep events.
• The thin marine crust subducts beneath the heavy continental crust where tectonic plates converge. Material scraped from the ocean floor close to the shore (accretionary wedge) and a series of volcanoes farther inland make up a subduction zone (volcanic arc).
