Compare and contrast the six types of tectonic plate boundaries (e.g., continentalcontinental
convergent). What are the tectonic features along each of these boundary
types? Provide specific examples of each. What will be an ideal response?
The student should discuss oceanic divergent, continental divergent, oceanic-oceanic
convergent, oceanic-continental convergent, continental-continental convergent, and
transform boundaries. Some students may also separate the transform boundaries into
oceanic transform and continental transform boundaries. Examples may include the
Himalaya Mountains, the Andes Mountains and adjacent subduction zone, the volcanic
island arcs of the Pacific, the mid-ocean ridges, the East African Rift, and the San
Andreas Fault.
