The four types of plate boundaries are convergent, subduction, divergent, and transform. You can find a convergent boundary on the west coast of South America. The Eurasian plate and the Indian plate are a subduction zone. The mid-Atlantic ridge is an example of a divergent plate boundary. The Alpine Fault in New Zealand is an example of a transform boundary.

There are four kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, transform and subduction plate boundaries. The four main types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform and subduction.

Four types of plate boundaries are
one between eurasian plate and the indian plate at the himalayas.
two between the african plate and the Arabian plate in the red sea.
Three between the pacific plat and the Australian pate cross new Zealand.

Divergent boundaries are two plates moving apart from each other an example is the Nazca Plate.Convergent boundaries are two plates hitting each other an example is Cocos Plate.Subduction boundaries is when one plate goes underneath the other plate an example is the South American and the African plate.The last plate boundary is a Transverse boundary this boundary is when two plates past and rub together an example is the Juan de Fuca plate.

The four types of plate boundaries ,subduction,transform,divergent,convergent you can find them in any where in the earth.

Anthony Esposito said...

Divergent, convergent and transform are three types of plate boundaries. Divergent is when two plate tectonics move away from each other. Convergent is when the impact of two colliding plates buckles the edge of one or both plates into a mountain range. Transform is when two plates sliding past each other.

The four types of plates bounders are transform, Divergent Convergent and Subduction. Divergent is when their moving away from each other. Transform two plates slide past each other. Convergent is where two plates are hitting each other Subduction is when the plates go over and one goes under the other .You can find divergent plates boundary when you see a Nazca plate and the pacific plate. Transform plate boundary with the Arabian and Indian Plates hit each other. Subduction Plate boundary is the African and South American plates. Convergent plate boundary is when South American and Nazca plates.

The four types of boundaries are transform,divergent,subduction and convergent. A transform boundaries transforms a part of land and makes it into new. The divergent boundaries move and crash to the ocean floor. I can't really explain what the other two do. You can find transform boundaries when you can see a volcano.
To see divergent boundaries you have to see it thought science because you can't really see that on the ocean floor.

Subduction: when ocean boundaries slide under the crust.
Convergent: when two plates push together
Divergent: when two plates move apart
Transform: when two plates slide against each other

The four types of plate boundraies are transform, subduction, divergent, and convergent. Transform is when two plates rub against each other, like on the san aderas fault. Subduction is when one tectonic plate moves under the other. Divergent is when two plates move away from each other. Convergent is when two plates push towards each other.

Tristin R said...

The four types of plate boundaries are Transform,Sudbuction,Divergent,Convergent. Transform is when they rub against each other like for an example In California. Subduction boundary is when the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate and sinks into the mantle as the plates converge. Divergent boundary is when plates move away from each other. Convergent boundary is when 2 plates are pushing toward each other and colliding.

transform, subduction, divergent, and convergent

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.

convergent boundary The impact of the two colliding plates buckles the edge of one or both plates up into a rugged mountain range, and sometimes bends the other down into a deep seafloor trench.

transform plate boundary. Natural or human-made structures that cross a transform boundary are offset—split into pieces and carried in opposite directions.

subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate and sinks into the mantle as the plates converge.

Divergent ,convergent ,collision, and transform are all boundarys.

The four type of plates are subduction, transform, divergent, convergent. Subduction is when one plate goes below the other the Himalayas are an example of a subduction zone. An example of a transform boundary Alpine Fault in New Zealand. An example of a divergent boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Washington-Oregon coastline of the United States is an example of this type of convergent plate boundary.

Jasmine L. said...

The four different types of Plate Boundaries are
Transform: Occurs where two plate slide past each other. Example: Pacific Ocean.

Subduction: Is when one move under the other. Example: South America

Divergent: Is when they are moving away from each other. Example:Africa

Convergent: Is when they are pushing towards each other. Example:India

The four types of plates are convergent, divergent, transform, and subduction plates. Convergent plates move towards each other, divergent plates move away from each other, transform plates move side to side from each other and subduction plates move under one another. You can find the different types of plates all over the earth, specifically, you can find subduction plates in the Pacific Ocean.

Divergent is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.Divergent boundaries are typified in the oceanic lithosphere by the rifts of the oceanic ridge system, including the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Rise, and in the continental lithosphere by rift valleys such as the famous East African Great Rift Valley.

Divergent, convergent, transform and subduction are the four types of plates.

alanah.t :P said...

Convergent plate boundaries can be found in asia, and they are plate boundaries that are pushing together.
Divergent plate boundaries can be found in The antarctic plates, and they are what happens when the plates pull apart.
Transform plate boundaries can be found in the pacific plates, they are what happens when two plates slide past each other.
Subduction plate boundaries can be found in the pacific plates, they are what happens when a plate slides over another.

Convergent. A convergent boundary, also known as a destructive plate boundary because of subduction, is an actively deforming region where two or more tectonic plates or fragments of the lithosphere move toward one another and collide.The west coast of South America is a convergent boundary between the Nazca plate and the South American plate. The collision of this oceanic and continental plate was how the Andes mountains were formed.

Convergent is when the two plates are pushing into each other. Located in Eurasian Plate
Divergent is when the plates are moving apart. Located in African and Pacific Plate
Transform is when the two plates slide from each other. Located in Scotia Plate

Divergent, convergent, subduction, transform are the 4 boundaries.
Divergent Boundaries can be found in the Antarctic plates.
Convergent Boundaries can be found in the Asian plate.
Transform Boundaries can be found in the Pacific plate.
Subduction Boundaries can be found in the Pacific plate

Andrew Iverson said...

A transform fault or transform boundary, also known as conservative plate boundary since these faults neither create nor destroy lithosphere, is a type of fault whose relative motion is predominantly horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction.San Andreas fault.

Andrew Iverson said...

subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate and sinks into the mantle as the plates converge. Regions where this process occurs are known as subduction zones.Calaifornia

Morggy aka morgan said...

i know that there is Subsection Boundaries, Transform Boundaries, Divergent Plates and Convergent Boundaries that is all

The first type of plate is the Convergent Boundary these will happen when two plate's push toward each other.
The Second one is Transform Boundary This will happen when two plates Slide Past each other.
The Next one is Divergent Boundary This is when two plates are moving away from each other.
Subduction Plates move under one another we find that around the Pacific ocean.

A Convergent Boundary the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate at the Himalayas.
A Divergent Boundary the boundary between the African Plate and the Arabian Plate i the Red Sea.
A Transform Boundary the boundary between Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate, crossing New Zealand.
A Subduction Boundary is when one plate goes underneath the other plate an example is the South American and the African plate.
