Answer:

1st Diagram (at the left) → Mid-Atlantic Ridge

2nd Diagram (at the right) → Andes Mountains

3rd Diagram (below) → San Andreas Fault

Step-by-step explanation:

I have been able to label the diagram with the correct information.

The 1st diagram at the left is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This is a divergent plate boundary that is found at the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. It is also seen as part of the mountain range in the world. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge also includes a deep rift valley. This rift valley runs along the axis of the ridge. This is along nearly its entire length.

The Andes Mountains is found along the Pacific Ring of Fire. It is seen in a Mesozoic–Tertiary orogenic belt of mountains. The Andes rises due to the compression of the western rim of the South American Plate. It is a result of tectonic plate processes.

San Andreas Fault is known to form the tectonic boundary which exists between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The motion of the fault is right-lateral strike-slip. It divides into three segments.
