Question

Match each label to the boundary it describes. convergent boundary new crust forms transform boundary crust submerges into the mantle divergent boundary crust neither forms nor submerges

Answer 1

The answers would be:

CONVERGENT boundary - Crust submerges into the mantle

TRANSFORM boundary - neither forms nor submerges

DIVERGENT boundary - new crust forms

If you'd like to know more about the different boundaries, read on:

Convergent boundaries occur when two plates move TOWARDS each other. The event where crust submerges into the mantle is called subduction and this occurs when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide. The oceanic plate is more dense and thinner than the continental plate, so it slides under it.

Transform boundaries occur when two plates slide against each other. They move slide side by side, so nothing is formed nor do they go under each other. Although, this type of boundaries create strong earthquakes.

Lastly, divergent boundaries occur when two plates move apart. The separation creates a way for magma to come up. New crust is formed when the magma that seeps out is cooled by its cooler surroundings. This is observed in the mid oceanic ridge.
