Of these six things, which three are formed by convergent plate boundaries?
Mid-ocean ridge Volcanic islands Major earthquakes
Rift valleys Deep-sea trenches Volcanic mountains
Also, which two are formed by divergent plate boundaries, and which one by transform?
Chosen Answer:
Mid-ocean ridge – divergent plate boundaries
Volcanic islands – divergent plate boundaries (Iceland, Hawaii)
Major earthquakes – convergent plate boundaries
Rift valleys – transform boundaries (but not necessarily – the Red Sea (yes) but the East African Rift Valley is a new plate boundary in the making as Africa is being slowly split apart)
Deep-sea trenches – convergent plate boundaries
Volcanic mountains – convergent plate boundaries (Pinatubo, Cotopaxi, Mount St Helens)
