Javier investigated what happens when Earth's plates meet. He found that as Earth's plates meet at plate boundaries and interact

, they move in three different ways. The ways they interact produce changes on land and on the ocean floor. What are the kinds of boundaries that plates form? Label each plate boundary with the correct type from the choices below.

Answer:

I. Divergent

II. Convergent

III. Transforming

Explanation:  

The crust is the outermost layer of the earth. It is divided into many plates that move over the mantle. Nowadays, there are six different bigger plates and twelve that are smaller. These plates are limited by three types of ridges or borders that differ in the movement they produce.

Boundaries types:

I. Divergent: New crust is created by the rising molten materials coming from the mantle. Two plates separate, and the stream of hot material creates a new seabed between them. It occurs an expansion of the sea bottom. As old plates get separated, the new and young crust instantaneously gets formed. The emerging mantle occupies the space left by the separation of the two plates. This process occurs along with an underwater mountain range, known as the mid-oceanic ridge or divergent ridge. An example of this is the ridge located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, extending from Greenlander to the southernmost point of South America.

II. Convergent. Collision area between two plates. Two oceanic plates might collide, or one oceanic plate with a continental one. In this last case, the oceanic crust sinks under the continental plate, and magma rises to the surface by crevices. The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate. The Himalayas and Los Andes are examples of these collisions. Also, collisions create volcanic arches and continental arches.

III. Transforming. The plates slide laterally with each other, and they are usually called faults. It is associated, in general, with the oceanic ridge, although it might also occur in the continental plate. No rocky material is either destroyed or formed. When the plates move and produce a displacement of one transforming limits from side to side, earthquakes occur. The movement breaks the crust and originates pronounced fractures. The San Andrés fault is an example of this plate ridges.
