Exit Check 4.2 - Constructive Forces

4.2.1

Match each diagram with the correct boundary type.

• Divergent Boundary

• 
• Transform Boundary

• 
• Convergent Boundary

• 
• Subduction

• 

Answer explanation

This question links to success criteria: 4.2.1 I can identify the common surface features of convergent and divergent plate boundaries.

If you got it correct place a check mark in the question results section. If you got it incorrect place an X in that section. If this was a redemption question, cross out the one X and replace it with a check mark.

4.2.1

Divergent Plate Boundaries are where two plates (a)   When two Continental plates diverge, this results in a feature called ​ (b)   . When two Oceanic Plates diverge, this results in a feature called an​ (c)   . These both result in the formation of ​ (d)   .
