Describe the three types of plate boundaries and provide examples of each.

Here are the answers to your questions:

2.1 Write the type of plate boundary in the blocks provided.

• Top Left: Divergent Plate Boundary
• Top Right: Convergent Plate Boundary (Oceanic-Continental)
• Bottom Left: Transform Plate Boundary
• Bottom Right: Convergent Plate Boundary (Continental-Continental)

2.2 Give an example of each of the plate boundaries.

• Top Left (Divergent): Mid-Atlantic Ridge
• Top Right (Convergent Oceanic-Continental): Andes Mountains
• Bottom Left (Transform): San Andreas Fault
• Bottom Right (Convergent Continental-Continental): Himalayan Mountains

2.3 Describe the movement of the plates at each of the plate boundaries.

• Top Left (Divergent): The plates move away from each other, causing magma to rise and form new crust.
• Top Right (Convergent Oceanic-Continental): An oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, leading to the formation of trenches and volcanic arcs.
• Bottom Left (Transform): The plates slide horizontally past each other in opposite directions, often causing earthquakes.
• Bottom Right (Convergent Continental-Continental): Two continental plates collide, causing intense folding and faulting, which results in the formation of large mountain ranges.
