how is the crust affected by each plate boundary

Question

this is for a graphic organizer for plate tectonics pyramid project

Answer 1

Hi Laticia!

Divergent:

Crust is produced at divergent boundaries (basaltic oceanic crust formed at mid ocean ridges)

Convergent:

Crust is lost into the Mantle at ocean-continent and ocean-ocean convergent boundaries due to subduction

Crust is highly deformed and uplifted to form mountains at continent-continent convergent boundaries

Transform:

Crust moves laterally along plates with some minor deformation at transform boundaries.

If you need any clarification or more help, just let me know!
