What Of these terms describes the edges where tectonic plates meet of these terms describes the edges where tectonic plates meet?

The edges where tectonic plates meet are called "plate boundaries." There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent, where plates move apart; convergent, where plates collide; and transform, where plates slide past each other. Each type of boundary is associated with different geological activities, such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
