Name each types of boundary: Ocean Ocean, Continental Continental, Ocean Continental?
Convergent boundaries , where two plates are moving toward each other, are of three types, depending on the type of crust present on either side of the boundary — oceanic or continental . The types are ocean-ocean, ocean-continent, and continent-continent.

What is another name for a divergent plate boundary?
Another name for a divergent plate boundary is a constructive plate boundary. This is because new crust is created and the plates move away from each other, leading to the formation of mid-ocean ridges and volcanic activity.
Name the two types of lithospheric plates?
There are two types of lithosphere: the oceanic lithosphere and the continental lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere exists in the ocean basins while the continental lithosphere exists in the continental crust.
What is another name for the divergent boundary in the Atlantic Ocean?
destructive plate boundary
What is the name of the airspace is surrounding north America that serves as a continental defense boundary?
adiz
Name two major regions of the ocean floor?
continental margin deep-ocean basin
What is another name for the divergent boundary in the ocean?
It is called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
What is the name of the ridge that separates rainfall that flows into the Pacific Ocean from rainfall that flows into the Atlantic Ocean?
It is called the Continental Divide.
What is the name of the crust not under the ocean?
The crust not under the ocean is called continental crust. It is thicker and less dense compared to oceanic crust and forms the landmasses on Earth's surface.
Who invented the continental railroad?
No one "invented" the Continental Railroad. Continental Railroad was the name given to the railroad that spanned America (US) from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
What is the name of the water near by Virginia?
The Atlantic Ocean is on one boundary and the James River where Jamestown established their fort in 1607.
Is the red sea a divergent boundary?
Yes. The Red Sea is actually a geological phenomenon in that sense. It gives geologists a chance to study what happens when two continental plates separate. The actual name for this process is called continental rifting. As the two continents move apart, an elongated depression forms. Eventually, this depression fills with water, which over time, creates an ocean. The Red Sea is part of the East African Rift, and is currently in the early ocean stages.
Name two types of tectonic plates?
Oceanic plates are denser and thinner, found beneath the oceans, while continental plates are thicker and less dense, making up the Earth's landmasses. These two types of tectonic plates interact at boundaries, influencing processes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
