No. There are three main types of boundary: convergent boundaries where plates push into each other, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.

What is the plate tectonic boundary type when plates move alongside each other?
Transform Boundary
What type of plate boundaries where 2 plates slide?
A Transform Boundary Is When Two Tectonic Plates Slide By One Another
What type of plate boundary is it when two tectonic plates are pulling away from each other and creating a rift zone?
A divergent plate boundary.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates?
Volcanic mountains over hot spots in the mantle. Fault-block
On what type of tectonic plate boundary is Mt Everest situated?
This is a convergent boundary where two continental tectonic plates (the Indian and Eurasian plates) are colliding forming the mountain chain known as the Himalayas (of which Mt Everest is a part) as well as the Tibetan plateau. Please see the related links.

Transform Boundary
What is the name of the type of boundary where one tectonic plate slides under another tectonic plates?
A destructive plate boundary - a subduction zone.
What type of plate boundary is asthenosphere?
The asthenosphere is not a plate boundary. It is the layer of Earth's mantle on which tectonic plates float.
What tectonic plates are colliding?
The movement or action of the plate determines what type it is. When two plates collide, they are creating a convergent boundary. Therefore you could state that they are convergent (or colliding) tectonic plates.

Which type of boundary produces earthquakes?
the answer to this question is a transform boundary. At a transform boundary plates slide past one another. Because tectonic plates have irregular edges, they grind and jerk as they slide, which produces earthquakes.
What type of boundary caused the earthquake 442010 baja California Mexico?
Its epicenter was located on the convergent boundary between the Pacific and Cocos tectonic plates.
What type of tectonic boundary forms a volcano?
Normally a Divergent boundary because as the plates diverge, lava spews out, but they can also form at a Convergent boundary, or, although less likely, a transform boundary.
On what type of tectonic plate boundary is Mt Everest situated?
This is a convergent boundary where two continental tectonic plates (the Indian and Eurasian plates) are colliding forming the mountain chain known as the Himalayas (of which Mt Everest is a part) as well as the Tibetan plateau. Please see the related links.
Is the moving portion of earth's crust and upper mantle called a ridge?
Not quite. These are known as tectonic plates. A (mid ocean) ridge is a type of boundary between differing tectonic plates which are diverging or moving away from each other..
