Plate boundaries are the cracks or the gaps found in between crustal plates.These boundaries are classified based on how two plates move with one another.If two tectonic plates move away from each other what kind of plate boundary do they have?

• a.convergent boundary

• b. divergent boundary

• c.seismic boundary

• d. transform boundary

Which of the following will form if two oceanic plates collide in their boundary?

• a.oceanic ridge

• b. oceanic trench

• c. mountain ranges

• d. volcanoes
