Question

In the image, two cookies are used to model tectonic plates. Which plate boundary does this model represent? convergent boundary divergent boundary transform boundary none of these

Answer 1

c. transform boundary

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is the divergent boundary.  

A divergent boundary, in plate tectonics refers to a linear characteristic, which prevails amid the two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Great Rift Valley are the examples of divergent boundaries.  

Iceland is an illustration of a country going through a continental divergent boundary. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge differentiates Iceland and is the boundary between the Eurasian and the North American tectonic plates.
