Explanation:

Question 7

Divergent plate boundaries are where tectonic plates move apart. Most mid - ocean ridges (divergent boundaries) are in oceans, like the Mid - Atlantic Ridge. Continental rifts (divergent in continents) are less common. So most divergent plate boundaries occur in the oceans.

The Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate are moving towards each other. A convergent plate boundary is where plates collide. The interaction between these two plates is a convergent boundary (specifically, a continental - oceanic or continental - continental convergence in parts, but overall convergent).

In California, the transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault, which is between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. These two plates slide past each other at this transform boundary.

Answer:

in the oceans
