Sagot :

Answer:

1. A transform plate boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other, horizontally. A well-known transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault, which is responsible for many of California's earthquakes.

2. Seafloor spreading occurs along mid-ocean ridges—large mountain ranges rising from the ocean floor. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, for instance, separates the North American plate from the Eurasian plate, and the South American plate from the African plate.

3. The point in the Afar region where the boundaries of all three plates meet is called a Triple Junction.

4. Subduction zones are plate boundaries where old oceanic crust is recycled back into the mantle. This explains why the Earth's circumference does not expand with the production of new oceanic crust and why, in comparison to continents, the seafloor has very little accumulation of sediment.

5. Wegener proposed the hypothesis of continental drift, which suggested that continents are in constant motion on the surface of Earth. ... Over time Pangaea began breaking apart, and the continents slowly moved to their present positions.
