c. divergent
i. where subduction zones occur
ii. characterized by arcs of stratovolcanoes and deep-ocean trenches
iii. plates are moving apart from one another
iv. this boundary is normally devoid of volcanism
v. the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
vi. the San Andreas fault
Answer:
i. convergent
ii. convergent
iii. divergent
iv. Transform
v. divergent
vi. Transform
Explanation:
Subduction usually occurs in a convergent boundary where tectonic plates collides. As the plates collides the more dense plate sink(subduct) causing an introduction of aesthenosphere material to the earth surface.
Oceanic trenches are long narrow depression found on the oceans floor. Oceanic trenches are formed in a convergent boundary where plates collides. The more dense plates slides beneath the less dense plate which forms subduction zone. The subduction zones is where one find this trenches. The convergent boundary are also characterize by arcs of stratovolcanoes.
Plates moving apart from each other is a divergent boundary. A divergent boundary is where tectonic plates moves away from each other.
Transform boundary is usually devoid of volcanism. The major known features of the transform boundary is fault.
The mid Atlantic ridge is formed when the tectonic plates moves away from each other. The plates moves away causing an uprising of aesthenosphere material through the mid Atlantic ridge . The mid Atlantic ridge is where new crust are formed.
Transform boundary is where plate moves past each other. This boundary is known for Geological features like fault. Example is the San Andrea fault.
Answer:
Where subduction zones occur: Convergent
Characterized by arcs of stratovolcanoes and deep-ocean trenches: Convergent
Plates are moving apart from one another: Divergent
This boundary is normally devoid of volcanism: Transform
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge: Divergent
The San Andreas fault: Transform
Explanation:
These are all different types of plate tectonic boundaries. Divergent boundaries occur when two plates move away from each other. In these areas, earthquakes are common, as well as magma rising to the surface to create new oceanic crust. In convergent boundaries, two plates come together. These can often cause mountain ranges or deep seafloor trenches. Finally, transform boundaries occur when two plates slide past each other. These can create linear fault valleys or undersea canyons.
