divergent= move away from each other convergent= CONVERGE together strike-slip= brushing past each other

A divergent boundary occurs at the point where two plates are moving away from each, creating more crust at the point of separation. A convergent boundary is where two plates are both moving into each other, neither subducting under the other, but pushing up the crust. A strike slip boundary occurs when plates are colliding at an angle. Tension builds up and is released in the form of an earthquake.

What are the all the boundary?

Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.


What are the three types of faults and what type of plate boundary are they associated with?

The three types of faults are normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults are associated with divergent plate boundaries, reverse faults with convergent plate boundaries, and strike-slip faults with transform plate boundaries.


Three types of faults?

The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.


When a strike slip fault that forms the boundary between two plates called a convergent boundary?

No, a strike-slip fault forms at a transform boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally. A convergent boundary is where two plates move towards each other, leading to subduction or collision.


Is the sentence a strike-slip fault that forms the boundary between two plates called a convergent boundary true or false?

false


Is this sentence true or false a strike-slip fault that forms the boundary between two plates is called convergent boundary?

false


What landforms are associated with each boundary?

Convergent boundary: associated with subduction zones, mountain ranges, and trenches. Divergent boundary: associated with rift valleys, mid-ocean ridges, and seafloor spreading. Transform boundary: associated with strike-slip faults and earthquakes.


Is the following sentence true or false a strike-slip fault that forms the boundary between two plates is called a convergent boundary?

False. A strike-slip fault forms at a transform boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. A convergent boundary is formed when two plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other in a subduction zone.


Is a strike-slip fault a transform boundary?

YES. A Strike-slip fault is usually a transform boundary.


What are the three types of plate boundaries and what types of faults occur there?

a. Transform:transform boundaries or motion creates strike-slip faults.b. Convergent:convergent boundaries or motion creates reverse faults.c. Divergent:divergent motion creates a normal fault.


Is strike slip boundary the same thing as a transform boundary?

No it is not.


What plate boundaries make up the earths crust layer?

All of them. Divergent (spreading ridges), convergent (subduction zones), and transform (strike-slip). An example of each include the following: Divergent: Mid-Atlantic spreading ridge Convergent: Cascade Arc Transform: San Andreas Fault
