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
