This document provides information about different types of plate boundaries:
1) Convergent boundaries occur where tectonic plates move towards each other and can result in subduction, trenches, and volcanoes.
2) Divergent boundaries occur where plates move apart and form mid-ocean ridges and rift valleys.
3) Transform boundaries occur where plates slide past each other horizontally along fault lines.

I. Direction: Using the blocks below, identify what type of Plate Boundary is present between the plates (Convergent Boundary, Divergent Boundary and Transform-Fault Boundary)
1. AB = 6. CD = 11. EH = 16. FB = 21. FJ = 26. GK =
2. AE = 7. CF = 12. EA = 17. FC = 22. GC = 27. HI = 3. BC = 8. CG = 13. EI = 18. FE = 23. GD = 28. IJ = 4. BE = 9. DG = 14. EF = 19. FG = 24. GF = 29. JK = 5. BF = 10. DC = 15. EB = 20. FI = 25. GJ = 30. KJ = II. Direction: Use figure below to identify the type of plate boundary that exists between each of the two plates below.
