Answer 1

Question number 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Convergent boundaries : Crust is destroyed as one plate dives under one another

Divergent Boundaries: New crust is generated as the plates pull away from each one another

Transform boundaries: crust is neither made nor destroyed plates slides past each other
