5. Use Figure 2.7 to identify two boundaries that are transform fault, two that are convergent and two that are divergent. (Identify the boundaries by naming the two plates that the boundary is located between)

American 74 Eurasian Plate 43 Philippine Plate 2 Indian Plate African Equator 99 Subplate Australian Plate rctic Plate Divergent boundaries: plates move apart and create new lithosphere. Convergent boundaries: plates move together, oceanic lithosphere is recycled back into the mantle, continental plates are deformed. Transform fault boundaries: plates slide horizontally past each other. FIGURE 2.7 Earth's surface is a mosaic of 13 major plates, as well as a number of smaller plates, of rigid lithosphere that move slowly over the ductile asthenosphere. Only one of the smaller plates-the Juan de Fuca Plate, off the west coast of North America is shown on this map. The arrows show the relative movement of two plates at a point on their boundary The numbers next to the arrows give the relative plate velocities in meters per year.
