it is different because separating plates move apart gaps between the plates and allow magma, while colliding plates form collision produced from distinct landforms, and they are both the same because they both produce landforms.
The similarity between colliding and separating tectonic plates is that both are areas of geologic instability. Also, the two regions have a better chance of being a source of vulcanism because of the nature of the instability. Even though they might be seen as "opposites" as regards the action of the plates, there is a way they are alike.
Where plates collide, one plate pushes under the other one in subduction. Volcanic action is likely as the subducted plate is forced below and melted below the crust. If plates are divergent, or separating and pulling apart, the rift is essentially a "crack" in the crust. Magma can upwell from below to heat the area, and again we see a possibility of volcanic action. Thermal vents dot the divergent plate boundaries down through the middle of the earth's two large ocean. In either subduction or divergence, geologic instability results and vulcanism is possible.
There are three kinds of plate boundaries:spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. The platea move at amazing show rates, from about 1 to 24 centimeters per year. Thet have been moving for tens of millions of years.
The effects of colliding plates would be ridges and mountain ranges. The effects of separating plates are trenches and cracks in the earths surface.
Transform boundary is when the plates are sliding past each other: ↑ ↓; Divergent is when plates are sliding away from each other: ← →; and convergent is when plates are sliding towards each other: → ←. Those are the three main plate boundaries.
At a divergent plat boundary the plates are moving APART in opposite directions and this is a constructive plate boundary.A transform boundary is one where the plates are SLIDING past each other in opposite directions.
There are three main types: Convergent boundaries (where two plates are being pushed together) Divergent boundaries (where two plates are being pulled apart) Transform boundaries (where two plates are sliding past each other).
They are classified based on the vector of relative plate motion at the boundary. For example a boundary where the plates are moving away from each other is a divergent boundary, one where they are moving towards each other is a convergent boundary and one in which they are sliding past each other is a transform boundary.
The earth's crust floats on the mantle. The movement is very slowly. Despite this slowness, over millions of years, this movement has created many of our Earth's landforms. Landforms are created because the plates are moving in different directions. When plates are moving away from each other they form divergent boundaries. Plates that are moving towards one another from convergent boundaries. At some places where plates come together, they crumple and lift to form mountains. Other converging plates form subduction zones . An ocean trench marks the region where a denser plate is forced under ( subducts) a less dense plate . Plates also move in sliding motion past one another to form transform fault boundaries. The motion at these boundaries is more like a grinding and scraping with sudden jolts due to the building up of pressure.

the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
Three types of plate boundaries are spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. um actually they are divergent, convergent, and transform
Convergent, Divergent, and Transform also known as Spreading, Colliding, and Sliding
Three types of plate boundaries are spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. um actually they are divergent, convergent, and transform
The four types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates moving apart), convergent boundaries (plates moving together), transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other), and subduction zones (one plate sinking beneath another).

Fault lines.
Transform boundary is when the plates are sliding past each other: ↑ ↓; Divergent is when plates are sliding away from each other: ← →; and convergent is when plates are sliding towards each other: → ←. Those are the three main plate boundaries.
At a divergent plat boundary the plates are moving APART in opposite directions and this is a constructive plate boundary.A transform boundary is one where the plates are SLIDING past each other in opposite directions.
