Answer:
Explanation:
Convergent: Two plates are coming together. This results in one or both edges of the plates to move upwards to form mountains. If one plate is pushed down while the second is pused up, a deep trench may form (ocean trenches). Volcanoes and earthquakes may also form along this boundary. The Pacific "Ring of Fire" is due to convergent plate collisions.
Divergent: Divergent boundaries occur when two plates move away from each other. Earthquakes and volcanoes are common as the growing gap allows magma to comes to the surface. Iceland is divided between the North American and Eurasian plates and this has produced an ever-widenng gap down the center of the country, which is both a major tourist attraction and a source for volcanic activity and numerous hot spring pools. One bridge across this gap is known as the "Bridge Between Continents," and is designed to accomodate the Xcm/year stretch as the continents separate even further.
Transform: Two plates slide past each. The San Andreas fault is one of the more famous. Structures, both natural and man-made, that cross a transform boundary can be split into pieces and moved in opposite directions. Rocks along the boundary are pulverized as the plates grind them. This can result in a linear fault valley or undersea canyon. Earthquakes are common along these faults. Unlike convergent and divergent boundaries, crust is cracked and broken at transform margins, but is not created or destroyed as with convergent and divergent boundaries.
