Part C - Mapping Convergent Boundaries S 7.0 13.4 Nazca Plate 5.9 9.4 Peru-Chile Trench In many global maps of the tectonic plates like the portion shown above, lines with triangular teeth between two plates represent convergent boundaries. The example of such a boundary shown above is between the oceanic Nazca Plate and the continental South American Plate. On which of the two plates are the triangles located? View Available Hint(s)for Part C O The overlying plate O Nothing in particular, as the directions of the triangles are random O The subducting plate (i.e., the plate that bends under the other plate at the boundary) The thinner of the two plates e South American Plate
