Question

List and describe four geologic features that are explain by the tectonic plates theory

Answer 1

The following four geologic features can be explained by the tectonic plates theory:

1) mid-ocean ridges form at divergent and transform boundaries

2) volcanoes form at convergent and divergent boundaries

3) mountains form at convergent boundaries

4) oceanic trenches form at convergent boundaries

The tectonic plated theory considers tectonic plates as movable parts that interact with each other and this interaction results in the described formations.
