Question

critical thinking
use the diagram to answer the following questions.
9 identify what type of stress is shown in the diagram?
10 relate which type of tectonic plate boundary is associated with this type of stress?
11 explain which type of landform forms at the plate boundary as a result of this stress?

Explanation:

1. Compressional stress occurs when forces push together.
2. Convergent boundaries are associated with compressional stress, not divergent (divergent is for tensional stress).
3. At convergent boundaries with compressional stress, mountain - ranges can form.

Answer:

1. Compressional stress
2. Convergent tectonic plate boundary
3. Mountain - ranges
