"Divergent" means drawing apart from a common point.

What are the 3 types of plate boundarys?

divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.


Types of plate boundaries?

The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates move apart), convergent boundaries (plates move toward each other), and transform boundaries (plates slide past each other horizontally). At divergent boundaries, new crust is formed as magma rises to the surface, while at convergent boundaries, crust is destroyed as one plate is subducted beneath another. Transform boundaries are characterized by earthquakes as the plates grind past each other.


What are the main types of tectonic plate boundaries?

What formed at divergent and converging boundaries?

Convergent and divergent boundaries are terms used in plate tectonics to describe the juncture at two plates and how they move in relation to each other. Divergent plates move apart and convergent move towards each other.
