tectonic plates is referred to as a ________ boundary.
3. The plate boundary characterized by two adjacent plates moving
side-to-side relative to each other is referred to as a ________
boundary.
A.
Divergent
B.
inversion
C.
Transform
D.
Convergent
Homework Answers
1 The plate boundary characterized by the spreading of two tectonic plates is referred to as a A divergent boundary.
This means boundaries are getting separated or drifting away from each other
2- The plate boundary characterized by the colliding of two tectonic plates is referred to as the D Convergent boundary.
Means that plates are colliding with each other or crashing themselves.
3- The plate boundary characterized by two adjacent plates moving side to side relative to each other is referred to as Transform boundary.
Two plates having one subsequent point in common and they are sliding past over each other.

Instructions: The extra credit project is due at the start of the final lecture Thursday, April 25th, and no late submission s will be accepted. The project is worth a maximum total of 10 extra points on one of your Exam grades. You may discuss the project and concepts generally with your classmates (e.g. what drives hurricane patterns), but you should not show anyone your actual maps. Therefore, each student's maps should be unique. I will check this, so complete...

To measure the tiny motion of one tectonic plate relative to another, seismologists in Iceland have set up the following interferometer-like device: A laser source producing laser light with wavelength 500 nm is set up on one side of a chasm that forms the boundary between two tectonic plates. The light is split into two beams using an angled piece of glass (acting as a "beam splitter"). One part of the beam crosses the chasm and is reflected back by...
