Boundaries, or faults, are locations on the edges of plates, crustal masses that are very slowly moving atop the convective outer mantle (asthenosphere).
At convergent boundaries, two crustal masses (plates) are pushing into each other. This can result in subduction, so may be a destructive boundary.
At divergent boundaries, two masses of rock are pulling away from each other. This can be a constructive boundary when it produces rifting and seafloor spreading.
At transform boundaries, or transform faults, rock masses move past one another. These are known as conservativeboundaries because crust is neither destroyed or created.
(these can cause earthquakes when accumulated strain is released)
Converging- Plates move together forming mountains
Diverging-Plates move away from each other creating Volcanoes
Transforming-PLates slide past each other creating trenches and earth quakes
Convergent Divergent Transform
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
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.
There are 3 types convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries. Convergent collide, divergent move away, and transform boundaries occur when two boundaries pass each other horizontally. The process of subduction is associated with convergent boundaries and tectonic plates play a huge role in these types of boundaries.

divergent, transform and convergent
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Convergent Divergent Transform
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
what is the type of plate boundary? 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).

A volcano itself is not an example of a plate boundary. They are found at divergent and convergent boundaries.
