Evidence of Earth's Changes and Weather

Mountains form by what type of plate boundary and the movement of the plate?

• Divergent boundary and the plates move away from each other.

• Convergent boundaries and the plate move toward each other.

• Transform boundary and the plates slide past each other.

• Plate tectonics which is plates moving over the top of magma.

Ocean basins are formed by what plate boundary and the movement associated with it?

• Divergent boundary and the plates are moving away from each other.

• Convergent boundary and the plates are coming togther.

• Transform boundary and the plates are sliding past each other.
