Question

In Convergent boundary, plates __________.

• A. moves toward each other
• B. slide horizontally
• C. pull away each other
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A moves toward each other

Three main types of plate boundaries:

• In divergent boundaries, new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other.

• In convergent: compressional, plates move toward each other. Includes the Subduction zones and mountain building.

• In transform boundaries, the crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

So, the above information shows that In Convergent boundary, plates move toward each other. Thus the correct option is A. Other options are not suitable.
