What are Two famous divergent boundaries?
the most famous divergent fault is the san Andreas faultEDIT: Actually, the San Andreas Fault is a Transform boundary. A Transform Boundary is when two plates are rubbing against each other while going opposite ways. A Divergent Boundary is when two plates move away from each other. Scientists have not pinpointed and named a Divergent Boundary but Divergent Boundaries usually occur under water in the sea, also called Sea Floor Spreading.

Two plates can either converge, diverge, or transform. A convergent boundary is when two plates come together, a divergent boundary is when they move apart, and a transform boundary is when two plates slide against each other in opposite directions.

What happens two plates carrying continental crust collide?
These are convergent plates- and if the pressure continues it causes mountain building. The Indian and Eurasian plates collided millions of yrs ago and are STILL pressing against each other. They created the Himalayas which are still growing! There are three tyoes of boundaries around plates: convergent (pressing against each other); divergent- moving away;. and transform- sliding past each other.
