Explanation / Answer

LOCATION

BOUNDARY

A) Aleutian Trench and Volcanic Peninsula

Ocean-ocean convergent at this time

[Explanation: remember trench can be form only for ocean ocean convergent plate boundary ]

B) Alps

Continent-contenent convergent at this time

[explanation: here european plate and african plate re move to each other and it form in tertiary era]

C) Andes Mountains

Continent- ocean convergent at this time

[explanation: here Nazca plate is subducteing beneath the south american plate ]

D) Appalachian Mountains

Continent- ocean convergent at this time

[juan de fuca oceanic plate is subducted beneaththe westward moving North American contenental plate ]

E) Australian-Antarctic Ridge

Divergent at this time

F) Caribbean Trench

Ocean-ocean convergent at this time

G) East Africa Rift

Divergent at this time

[African plate splitting into two small plate somali plate and ubian plate]

H) East Coast of US

Ocean-ocean convergent at this time

I) East Coast of South America

Ocean-ocean convergent at this time

J) East Pacific Rise

Originally formed by a divergent boundary , now mid plate

K) Great Plains of North America

Formed in a mid plate environment

L) Himalayan Mountains

Continent-contenent convergent at this time

M) Lesser Antilles Islands

Continental ocean convergent at this time

N) Mariana Trench

Ocean-ocean convergent at this time

O) Mid-Atlantic Ridge
