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 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.
