Вопрос:
4. The terms constructive and destructive are occasionally used to describe convergent and divergent plate boundaries. Which plate boundary (convergent or divergent) do you think is described as constructive, and which do you think is described as destructive? Explain your reasoning.
Ответ:
4. Термины «конструктивная» и «деструктивная» иногда используются для описания конвергентных и дивергентных границ плит. Я думаю, что дивергентная граница плит описывается как конструктивная, потому что на ней образуется новая земная кора. Конвергентная граница плит описывается как деструктивная, потому что на ней земная кора разрушается (погружается в мантию).

In the North Atlantic Ocean, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge separates the North American Plate from the Eurasian Plate. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge grows larger each year as magma fills in the gap created by the movement of the North American and Eurasian plates. a.
