Question

Which of the following is NOT a type of plate boundary? a. Convergent c. Transform b. Subduction zone d. All of the above are types of plate boundaries

Answer 1

The option (c) SUBDUCTION ZONE is the answer

Answer 2

(b) Subduction zone is not a type of plate boundary.

Explanation:

• The edges of two plates where it meets is called plate boundaries.
• The types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent and transform.
• The two plates that collides each other is called convergent plate boundary.
• When one or both of the plates are made up of oceanic crust, the subduction zone occurs.
• The example of convergent plate boundary is Pacific Ring of Fire.
• The two plates that are moving away is called divergent plate boundary.
• The example for divergent plate boundary is Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
• The two plates that are slide passed is called transform plate boundary.
• The example for transform plate boundary is San Andreas fault zone.
