Let's map the tectonic plates in ArcGIS Online! 1- Create a map in ArcGIS Online that displays the tectonic plate boundaries and label them to identify the type of boundaries that exist:divergent, convergent and transform. 2 -FiltertheTectonic Plate Boundary Typeslayer by each type. Do you ...
The coexistence of divergent (spreading ridge) and convergent (subduction zone) plate boundaries at which lithosphere is respectively generated and destroyed is the hallmark of plate tectonics. Here, we document temporally- and spatially-associated Neoar
Convergent, divergent and transform boundaries are ways that tectonic plates interact. Tectonic plates are large sections of the Earth's lithosphere, or crust. Before understanding the differences between the three types of boundaries, it is important to understand the basics of tectonic plates....

The terms "convergent" and "divergent" refer to tectonic plate boundaries and not the plates. The North American Plate has both convergent and divergent boundaries

When two continental plates pull apart, a rift valley is formed. As the plates separate, faults form on either side and the earth in between sinks. This activity often results in earthquakes. One example of a continental divergent boundary is the East African Rift. ...
Plate tectonics have shaped the Earth for eons. Continuously in motion, the plates interact with one another as they separate, collide, and grind at the plate boundaries. Depending on the type of movement, these boundaries can be labeled divergent, convergent, or transform boundaries....
Seahorses have a circum-global distribution in tropical to temperate coastal waters. Yet, seahorses show many adaptations for a sedentary, cryptic lifestyle: they require specific habitats, such as seagrass, kelp or coral reefs, lack pelvic and caudal fi
