These are plate boundary where there is relatively little or no creation of new crust or destruction of old crust. At the conservative plate boundary, tectonic plate move side by side horizontally sliding pass one another and berely interacting but only leading to the formation of a kind of line in-between called tranform fault or transform fault line. So it just seem as if the lithosphere in such boundary is conserved and preserved.

Nothing happens on conservative plate boundaries, not even volcanoes.

What are large rising bodies of magma not at plate boundaries called?

A large rising body of magma is called a magma plume they originate from the mantle. Plate boundaries are found at the edge of the lithospheric plates and are of three types, convergent, divergent and conservative.


What are types of plate boundaries?

The 3 general types are constructive, destructive, and conservative boundaries. Constructive (divergent) - plates move away from each other, typically creating a rift Destructive (convergent) - one plate will be subducted, or continental plates collide Conservative (transform) - plates grind past each other, stalling and slipping
