Question

Q. Consider the following pairs:

Type of tectonic Boundary

landforms formed

Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?

• A. 1 and 2 only
• B. 1 and 3 only
• C. 2 and 3 only
• D. 1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

Pair 1 is correctly matched: Convergent boundaries happen where both plates move towards one another to form a zone of subduction or a continental collision.convergent plate boundaries also lead to mountain building .Himalayan Mountain Range is an example of continental convergent plate boundaries.

Pair 2 is correctly matched:These boundaries happen when both plates move apart from one other. The Great Rift Valley in Africa is formed due to this kind of interaction.

Pair 3 is correctly matched: The San Andreas Fault in California is an example of a transform boundary.A transform boundary is formed as tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other
