Match the plate boundary with the best analogy description:

Geography
1 answer:
Viefleur [7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answers:

Convergent- Car crashing in head on collision

Divergent- Parting of love birds and their separate movement

Transform- Rubbing of hands

Explanation:

(1) Convergent plate boundary- Here, the two plates move towards each other, as a result of which the heavier plate sinks below the lighter plate. It results in the formation of the subduction zone that is often marked by a deep-sea oceanic trench. The magma from the depths, eventually rises up towards the surface in the over-riding plate forming volcanoes. It generates deep-focus earthquakes.

The analogy that matches with this plate boundary is the crashing of a car in a head on collision.

(2) Divergent plate boundary- Here, two plates move away from each other thereby resulting in the formation of the oceanic floor, that adds new materials to the crust along the mid oceanic ridge. It also produces volcanoes and are associated with deep-focus earthquakes.

The analogy that fits this divergent type of plate boundary is the parting of the lovebirds and moving into separate ways.

(3) Transform plate boundary- Here, two plates slide past one another. The plates are neither created nor destroyed. It generates shallow focus earthquakes that are very destructive in nature.

The analogy that fits this plate boundary is the rubbing of our hands together.
