Whether the given figure represent a convergent or divergent plate boundary.
Introduction:
The lithospheric crust is separated into several plates and is called tectonic plates. The region where plates meet or move apart is known as a plate boundary. The plate tectonic theory describes the mechanism of tectonic plates.
a.
To determine:
Whether the plates around this boundary are moving apart or together.
Introduction:
The plates move continuously in constant motion, and the motion is relative to each other. Most of the major interactions occur along these boundaries.
b.
To determine:
Whether the given plate boundary occurs at deep-ocean trenches or mid-ocean ridges.
Introduction:
There are three different types of plate boundaries based on the relative movement of the plates to the opposite side of the boundary. These are divergent plate boundary, convergent plate boundary and the transform plate boundary.
c.
To determine:
Whether the given plate boundary leads to the construction or destruction of the lithosphere.
Introduction:
The divergent plate boundaries have constructive margins. The convergent plate boundaries have destructive margins, whereas the transform plate boundaries have conservative margins.
