Weatherford College Oceanography Plate Boundaries Paper

When standing on the ground next to a known plate boundary, it can often be hard to tell if the two plates are moving toward each other, away from each other, or sliding past one another. Scientists have been able to identify many key features at plate boundary regions that are unique to each type of plate boundary. When these defining features are observed, scientists can make a preliminary prediction about what type of plate boundary they are looking at!
