Question

What are the three types of plate boundaries? Write their characteristic features.

Answer 1

The three types of plate boundaries are:
(i) Convergent Boundary. It is formed when plates come towards each other.
(ii) Divergent Boundary. It is formed when plates move away from each other.
(iii) Transform Boundary. It is formed when plates move horizontally from each other. The movement of these plates have changed the position and size of the continents over millions of years. Such movements have also influenced the evolution of the present landform features of India.
