Match the geological feature with its primary plate boundary type: 1. Mid-ocean ridge 2. Mariana Trench 3. San Andreas Fault
1-Divergent, 2-Convergent, 3-Transform
The three primary types of plate boundaries:
1. Mid-ocean ridge → Divergent boundary — two oceanic plates move apart, magma rises, and new oceanic crust is formed (e.g., Mid-Atlantic Ridge).
2. Mariana Trench → Convergent boundary — the Pacific Plate is subducted beneath the Mariana Plate, creating the deepest oceanic trench on Earth.
3. San Andreas Fault → Transform boundary — the Pacific and North American plates slide horizontally past each other in California.
So the matching is 1–Divergent, 2–Convergent, 3–Transform.
Hence the correct answer is option 1).
