Question

Now look at Fig. 4 and Fig. 5. They depict plate movements as in Fig. 3, however this time the direction of motion is different. Recall all that you have learned so far on Plate Tectonics and answer the related questions beneath. Remember for the purpose of the exercise plate A does not move. Hence what you need to figure out to answer the questions is how plate B is moving respect to plate A, and what is happening along each of the sides of plate B. Is a particular side of plate B moving away or toward (or sliding along) plate A? Every particular movement will generate a particular boundary between the two plates. 4 5 5. What type of plate boundary is forming along ab in figure 4? 6. What type of plate boundary is forming along bc in figure 4? 7. What type of plate boundary is forming along ac in figure 4? 8. What type of plate boundary is forming along ab in figure 5? 9. What type of plate boundary is forming along be in figure 5? 1O.What type of plate boundary is forming along ac in figure 5?

Explanation / Answer

5.divergent,as the boundary line is moving away from the existing location. 6. Divergent 7.convergent as the two plates are getting compressed 8. Divergent as the boundary is moving away
