Question

the diagram below shows some of earths tectonic plates and their boundaries. the type of boundary between certain plates is indicated using arrows.
at which two plate boundaries is new crust being created?
choose 2 answers:

Explanation:

New crust forms at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise and solidify. On the map, divergent boundaries are marked by arrows pointing away from each other.

1. The boundary between the Pacific Plate and Nazca Plate has arrows pointing outward, indicating divergence.
2. The boundary between the Cocos Plate and Nazca Plate has arrows pointing outward, indicating divergence.

Other boundaries (North American-Caribbean, South American-Nazca) have arrows pointing toward each other, which are convergent boundaries where crust is destroyed, not created.

Answer:

1. Boundary between Pacific Plate and Nazca Plate
2. Boundary between Cocos Plate and Nazca Plate
