Answer:

(A) When two oceanic plate moves in the opposite direction, it leads to the formation of new crust and the boundary along which this new crust is formed is known as the Mid-Oceanic ridge. For example Mid-Atlantic ridge.

(B) When an oceanic plate crashes with a continental plate, then the oceanic plate being heavier sinks below the continental plate, producing a subduction zone is created, which is commonly known as the Benioff zone. It is marked by deep trenches and deep-focus earthquakes are generated.

(C) When two continental plates share a divergent plate boundary, if slowly undergoes rifting and with the increasing time, the plates get separated from one another forming a rift valley. For example, the East African rift valley system.

(D) Strike-Slip fault zone is the boundary along which two continental plates slide past one another. Shallow-focus earthquakes are generated in this region. For example, The San Andreas fault.

(E) When two continental plates converges then it forms the sandwich pattern, where high mountain ranges occur. The area undergoes extreme thrusting and folding. for example, The Himalaya.
