Question

Match the boundary with its characteristic

1. Convergent
2. Divergent
3. Transform


A. Along strike-slip faults
B. Along ocean ridges
C. Compression,

Answer 1

Matching the boundary with its characteristics 1. Convergent - C. Compression 2. Divergent - B. Along ocean ridges 3. Transform - A. Along strike-slip faults The compression that occur in the convergent boundary causes the reverse fault in the earth crust. So in the divergent boundary two crust plates move apart causing a normal fault along the ocean ridges. The faults in the transform boundary happens at the place where plates slide laterally.

Answer 2

The answers are the following:
1. Convergent - C. Compression
2. Divergent - B. Along ocean ridges
3. Transform - A. Along strike-slip faults

These are the plate tectonic boundaries that which causes earthquakes when they move. Each tectonic boundaries result to different movement of the plates and forms new landmasses.
