Compare and contrast the three major types of plate tectonic boundaries. Discuss the tectonic features along each of
these boundaries. Provide specific examples of each type of boundary. What will be an ideal response?
The student should describe and discuss divergent, convergent, and transform plate
boundaries. Included in the discussion should be subduction zones, orogenic belts, mid-ocean
ridges, continental rift valleys, and transform faults. Examples may include the western coast
of South America (convergent), the Himalaya Mountains (convergent), the mid-Atlantic
ridge (divergent), the East African Rift (divergent), and the San Andreas Fault (transform).
