It looks like you've uploaded an image of an educational worksheet titled
"Facts About Plate Tectonics", which asks you to label the three types of plate boundaries based on your understanding of plate tectonics.
The worksheet shows
three diagrams representing different types of plate boundaries:
1.
Divergent plate boundary – Plates are moving
away from each other.
2.
Transform plate boundary – Plates are sliding
past each other (horizontally).
3.
Convergent plate boundary – Plates are moving
toward each other.
Below the diagrams, there is a prompt:
> "Fill in the blanks using the correct options from the word bank:"
And the word bank includes:
-
transform
-
convergent
-
divergent
✔ Solution & Explanation:
You need to
label each diagram correctly with the appropriate term from the word bank.
Let’s go through each one:
---
#### 1.
Top Diagram: Divergent Plate Boundary
-
Observation: The two plates are moving
away from each other.
-
Result: This creates a rift valley or mid-ocean ridge (like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge).
-
Label:
✔ Divergent
---
#### 2.
Middle Diagram: Transform Plate Boundary
-
Observation: The plates are sliding
horizontally past each other.
-
Example: San Andreas Fault in California.
-
Label:
✔ Transform
---
#### 3.
Bottom Diagram: Convergent Plate Boundary
-
Observation: The plates are moving
toward each other.
-
Result: Can cause mountain formation (e.g., Himalayas) or subduction zones (one plate sinks beneath another).
-
Label:
✔ Convergent
---
Final Answer:
- Top diagram →
Divergent
- Middle diagram →
Transform
- Bottom diagram →
Convergent
This matches the labels already provided in the image, so if the task is to
confirm or fill in the blanks, you simply match each diagram to its correct type.
If the worksheet has blank lines below the diagrams, you would write:
1.
Divergent
2.
Transform
3.
Convergent
---
Summary:
✔ The three types of plate boundaries are:
-
Divergent – plates move apart
-
Convergent – plates move together
-
Transform – plates slide past each other
These interactions shape Earth's surface features like mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
