Match each boundary with its description

1. convergent __________________________________________.
2. divergent __________________________________________.
3. transform ___________________________________________.

This plate boundary creates new land, like the seafloor at the mid-atlantic ridge.

This plate boundary can cause earthquakes from plates rubbing along side each other.

This plate boundary usually forms mountains due to colliding plates.

Answer: 1. convergent :This plate boundary usually forms mountains due to colliding plates.

2. divergent :This plate boundary creates new land, like the seafloor at the mid-atlantic ridge.

3.transform :This plate boundary can cause earthquakes from plates rubbing along side each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convergent boundaries are the areas on the surface of the Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collides. One of the late slides beneath the other making area highly prone to earthquakes.

Divergent boundaries are the areas on the surface of the Earth where two tectonic plates moves away from each other.Due this movement of plates a ridge is created like sea floor at the mid-Atlantic ridge.

Transform are the area on the surface of the Earth where two plates slides away past to each other due to which gives rise to earthquakes.
