The fault model that demonstrates compression is the convergent boundary model. At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates move toward each other, leading to compression and the formation of features such as mountain ranges and subduction zones. In contrast, divergent boundaries are associated with tension and the pulling apart of tectonic plates, facilitating the formation of rift valleys and mid-ocean ridges. Thus, compression is a characteristic of convergent boundaries.

What are the four plate boundaries?

The four types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates moving apart), convergent boundaries (plates moving together), transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other), and subduction zones (one plate sinking beneath another).


What are the 3 types of plate boundarys?

divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.


What are the plate boundaries?

Divergent, convergent, and transform. Divergent is where they move apart, convergent is where they move together, while transform is where they slide past each other. hi im kind im a different person
