Explanation / Answer

2. Bering Straits: Transform margin.

3. Gulf of Maxico: Oceanic rift basin, located between North America and the Yucatan Block..

4. Red Sea: The Red Sea was formed by the divergence between the African Plate and the Arabian Plate.

5. Mediterranean:   Subduction. African Plate subducting under the Eurasian and Anatolian plates

8. Gulf of California: Continental rifting.

10. Central america: Subduction and then Collision.

11. Basin and Range Province: Ocean-Continenet convergent margin. A long period of compression due to the subduction of the Farallon Plate under the west coast of the North American continental plate.

17. Indonesia: Volcanic arc, subduction of the Indian oceanic plate beneath the Eurasian continental plate.

18. Iceland: Divergent boundary between the Eurasian plate and the North American plate.

19. Madagascar: Continental rift ( continent-continent divergent).

22. Greenland: Continental rift ( continent-continent divergent).
