Procedure:

The procedures are listed in your virtual lab. You do not need to repeat them here. Please be sure to identify the test variable (independent variable), outcome variable (dependent variable).
Reminder: Test variable = the item you are changing or manipulating; Outcome variable = the item you are measuring
Test variable (independent variable):
Outcome variable (dependent variable):

Conclusion:
Your conclusion will include a summary of the lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please write in complete sentences.
What types of geological events or changes occur at divergent plate boundaries?
What types of geological events or changes occur at convergent plate boundaries?
What types of geological events or changes occur at transform plate boundaries?
Explain how these geological processes and interactions have changed Earth's surface through the years. Be sure to use evidence to support your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some types of geological events and changes that occurred at divergent plate boundaries are seafloor spreading, volcanoes, earthquakes, and ocean formation. ... Some types of geological events and changes that occurred at transform plate boundaries are island chains, earthquakes, faults, and volcanoes.
