Question

Questions on tectonic plates, could someone help?

Answer 1

Answer:

1) A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma rises from the Earth’s mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust.

2) A convergent plate boundary is a location where two tectonic plates are moving toward each other, often causing one plate to slide below the other (in a process known as subduction) This can result in earthquakes, volcanoes, the formation of mountains, and other geological events.

3) In a transform plate boundary, two plates slide past each other, conserving the plates. Shallow-focus earthquakes are generated here. The earth has experienced various geological processes, such as weathering and erosion of rocks, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, mass extinction events, plate tectonic movements.

4) these geological processes and interactions have changed Earth's surface through the years by causing more geological processes such as "earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mass extinction events" these changes have also "created a new oceanic crust" stated by the NOAA

I didnt have the time to do an actual citation so I just added the links and you can cite them to whatever format you want (MLA..ect)
