Study the image. which feature is modeled in the diagram? check all that apply. 1 a convergent boundary is formed. 2 continental plates are colliding. 3 two plates are forming a divergent boundary. 4 continental plates are sliding past each other. 5 several mid-ocean ridges are formed on earth’s surface.

The answers are:

1 A convergent boundary is formed.

2 Continental plates are colliding.

Let's check the options one by one:

Correct options:

1 A convergent boundary is formed.

- Convergent boundary is where two plates collide and the denser plate slide underneath. As we can see from the picture, two plates collide with the arrows towards each other, while the left plate slide underneath the right plate. We can therefore determine that it is a convergent boundary.

2 Continental plates are colliding.

- From the picture, we can see that both the left and right plate are continental plate, given there is no signs indicating that they were under ocean and both have grass on top. As mentioned above, two plates are colliding. As it satisfies both plates being continental plates and that they are colliding, the option is correct.

Incorrect options:

3 Two plates are forming a divergent boundary.

Divergent boundary is where two plates move apart and as from above this is not the case, given how the arrows are pointing towards each other we can see that they are moving together instead of moving apart.

4 Continental plates are sliding past each other.

"Sliding past" means that the plates are sliding across each other in however not colliding. No plate material will be created or destroyed in the process and from the picture we can see that this is not the case.

5 Several mid-ocean ridges are formed on Earth’s surface.

As mentioned above, the two plates are continental plate that are colliding, however in the mid-oceanic ridges in above statement can only be formed by diverging oceanic plates undersea. As both feature cannot be satisfied, this statement is false.

Hope it helps!
