Bell ringer- How could you describe the different types of plate boundaries that you see
on this diagram?

Tectonic Plates on Modern Earth
There are three main types of plate boundaries:
•1- Convergent
•2- Divergent
•3- Transform
1. Convergent (aka subduction zone) boundaries – where one plate overrides another plate. Each plate is bounded by some combination of these three plate boundary types.
2. Divergent (aka spreading) boundaries – where plates are moving apart
3. Transform fault boundaries – where plates are moving past each other
The material making up the plates can be divided in two types: i. Oceanic crust ii. Continental crust
So which of these could be axial?
Which could show
