tell what these plate boundaries mean,what features are created and give a modern example?

Question

divergent,transform,convergent,ocean to continent,ocean to ocean,continent to continent

Answer 1

Divergent plate boundries are places where two tectonic plates are pulling away from each other as a result of convection currents in the mantle. A good example would be the mid-atlantic ridge that runs the length of the Atlantic Ocean.

A transform fault is where two different plates are sliding past each other. A good example would be the San Andreas fault in California.

Convergent plate boundries are where two different plates are running into each other. An example of continent to continent convergence would be where the India subcontinent is pusing into the Eurasian plate. I cannot think of an example of two purely oceanic plates converging... But in the south Pacific, the Pacific plate is pushing into the Australian plate far from the shore of Australia - this is what created New Zealand. An example of ocean-continent convergence would be the Nazca plate subducting under the South American plate.
