Click on the "Boundary A” tab at the top of the simulation. Check the "Boundary name,” "Show labels,” and "Show location” checkboxes. Throughout the simulation, you will click the buttons with black arrows to animate tectonic plates at different boundaries in the direction of the arrows. As you animate plates by clicking black arrows, previously gray arrows may turn black, allowing you to undo the animation. Which Earth systems are labeled in the simulation? Choose two correct answers.lithospherecryospheremagnetosphereasthenospherebiosphere

There is a convergent boundary between the continents of and . As a result of this convergent boundary, will most likely form in the region over time.

There is a convergent boundary between the continents of and . As a result of this convergent boundary, will most likely form in the region over time.

Click on the button with the top-left arrow beneath the "Boundary A” tab title to see an animation, then click on the button with the bottom-right arrow next to it to undo the animation. Repeat to explore plate interaction at a transform boundary from the side and from above. The row of rectangles beneath the clickable buttons shows the overhead view of the boundary. What do transform boundaries involve?

For Boundary A, look at the map under the "Show location” checkbox. The red lines on the map indicate the locations of transform plate boundaries. Where can transform boundaries be found? Choose three correct answers.western coast of North Americanorthern coast of South Americanorthern coast of Europesouthern coast of Africaeastern coast of Australianorthern coast of Antarctica

Click on the "Boundary B” tab at the top of the simulation. As before, click on the button with the black arrow to see the plate move in the direction of the arrow, and observe the plate interaction from the side and from above. You can click on the arrow in the opposite direction to undo the animation. What do convergent (collision) boundaries involve?

There is a convergent boundary between the continents of and . As a result of this convergent boundary, will most likely form in the region over time.

Convergent (subduction) boundaries are most likely to be found in the rim around the Ocean. As a result, are likely to form in the region over time.

Click on the "Boundary D” tab at the top of the simulation. Animate the plate interaction and observe it from the side and from above, undoing the animation as needed.What do divergent boundaries involve?

For Boundary D, look at the map under the "Show location” checkbox. Identify locations (shown with red lines) of divergent boundaries. Where can divergent boundaries be found? Choose three correct answers.along the middle of the Atlantic Oceanalong the eastern coast of North Americabetween Africa and Asiabetween Australia and Asiaalong the eastern coast of South Americaalong the middle of the Indian Ocean
