10.
This boundary is described by two plates moving away from eachother along the edges and separating. The resulting gap allows magma to rise and create new crust, forming new lithosphere.
a)
Convergent Boundary
b)
Divergent Boundary
c)
Transform Boundary
11.
This boundary is described as two plates moving past eachother ALONG THE EDGES horizontally. These boundaries will get stuck or lock against eachother causing earthquakes when they slip and release.
a)
Convergent Boundary
b)
Divergent Boundary
c)
Transform Boundary
12.
