Question

List and describe the three types of plate boundaries. Using this information, then describe how landforms are formed. Make sure to include the different types of landforms as you explain your answer.

Answer 1

1. Divergent boundaries -- where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.
2. Convergent boundaries -- where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another.
3. Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
