Question

. State three types of plate movements.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways in relation to each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

Divergent: extensional; the plates move apart. Spreading ridges, basin-range.

Convergent: compressional; plates move toward each other. Includes: Subduction zones and mountain building.

Transform: shearing; plates slide past each other. Strike-slip motion.
