Briefly, one can categorize the 3 types of boundaries as so: At convergent boundaries, the two tectonic plates are coming closer to each other; at divergent boundaries they are increasing they move away from each other and at transform boundaries the plates are moving parallel to their boundary. Based on this, all boundaries will be divergent boundaries.

Why do scientists use the scientific method
Arte-miy333 [17]
The scientific method is a process of steps in order to get a conclusion. First, a scientist will observe something. It could be really anything. Then he/she will ask themselves a question. Like how does it do that? Or why does it do that?

Then they will form a hypothesis. This is where you will ask yourself what will be the outcome of the experiment.

Next you actually perform the experiment. If the experiment comes out as your hypothesis predicted, then you accept your hypothesis.

If not, you reject your hypothesis.

Of course, in science you just don't do one experiment. You do it multiple times and even with different circumstances.

How would you account for the fact that fossils of fish are not present in the older layers of rock?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The fish did not yet exist when the old layers of rocks were deposited. In fact, animals with hard parts did not evolve until about 600 million years ago, which is only about 13% of the 4.5 billion year age of the Earth. Multicellular animals without hard parts left tracks in older sediments, but had no fossilize-able body parts.
