which type of plate boundary does the image show weegy?
298938
The image shows the Convergent plate boundary. Explanation: Convergent boundaries occur wherever the Earth's tectonic plates move or collide toward each other.

Tectonic plates are pieces of Earth's crust and uppermost mantle, together referred to as the lithosphere. The plates are around 100 km (62 mi) thick and consist of two principal types of material: oceanic crust (also called sima from silicon and magnesium) and continental crust (sial from silicon and aluminium).

Type of plate boundaries near the Sierra Nevada The Juan De Fuca plate boundary is Convergent ( Ocean to Continent ). The Pacific plate boundary is Divergent.

This is a special type of convergent boundary called a collisional boundary. The Himalayas in India are the result of two continental plates (the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates) colliding head on. The third type of plate boundary is called a conservative or transform boundary.

A transform plate boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other, horizontally. A well-known transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault, which is responsible for many of California's earthquakes.

The Southeast Indian Ridge marks where the southern Indo-Australian plate forms a divergent boundary with the Antarctic plate. Seafloor spreading is not consistent at all mid-ocean ridges.

If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. Deep trenches are features often formed where tectonic plates are being subducted and earthquakes are common.

The boundary between the North America Plate and the Eurasian Plate is an example of a divergent boundary at a mid-ocean ridge. All of the plate boundaries that occur down the center of the Atlantic Ocean are divergent boundaries that follow the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

The San Andreas Fault is the boundary between two of Earth's tectonic plates: the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. This boundary is a transform boundary. The Pacific Plate is moving to the north and west, while the North American Plate is moving to the south and east.

1. Convergent boundaries: where two plates are colliding. Subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust. The denser plate is subducted underneath the less dense plate.

Continental collisions result in the creation of mountains and fold belts as the rocks are forced upwards. Plates can move towards each other at a boundary. This type of is called a convergent boundary. This type of boundary is dominated by reverse faulting although other types of faulting may be observed.

There are three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. This image shows the three main types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform. ... A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.

In the case of the Haiti quake, the Caribbean and North American plates slide past one another in an east-west direction. This is known as a strike-slip boundary.
16204
A transform boundary, where two plates slide past each other in the same plane. Strike-slip faults occur at transform boundaries: for example, a system of strike-slip faults makes up the transform boundary of the San Andreas fault.

['Divergent: extensional; the plates move apart. Spreading ridges, basin-range.', 'Convergent: compressional; plates move toward each other. Includes: Subduction zones and mountain building.', 'Transform: shearing; plates slide past each other. Strike-slip motion.']

The Juan de Fuca and Gorda ridges mark the divergent plate boundary (the spreading ridge) with the Pacific plate. The Cascadia trench marks the subduction zone with the North American plate. The arrow shows the direction of convergence. Major Cascade volcanoes are labeled.

At a convergent plate boundary, when one plate is oceanic, there are large volcanoes. These volcanoes are found in lines that outline the subduction zone.
