Look at the maps, and try to decide where plates are colliding, where plates are moving away from each other, and where plates are sliding past one another. The table below (and on the next page) can be used to sum up your conclusions. Based on your observations of all the maps fill in the table below. Type of Plate Boundary Divergent Transform Convergent *(ocean-continent) Motion (Do the plates move towards each other, away from each other, or past one another side-by-side? Topography (Is there a trench along this plate boundary? Or a ridge? Neither?) Are earthquakes present? Describe the depth(s) of any earthquakes at these boundaries Make a labeled cross section showing how each type of plate boundary looks from the side. ↑
