-Transform boundaries occur where plates slide or, perhaps more accurately, grind past each other along transform faults. The relative motion of the two plates is either sinistral (left side toward the observer) or dextral (right side toward the observer). The San Andreas Fault in California is one example. -Divergent boundaries occur where two plates slide apart from each other. Mid-ocean ridges (e.g., Mid-Atlantic Ridge) and active zones of rifting (such as Africa's Great Rift Valley) are both examples of divergent boundaries. -Convergent boundaries (or active margins) occur where two plates slide towards each other commonly forming either a subduction zone (if one plate moves underneath the other) or a continental collision (if the two plates contain continental crust). Deep marine trenches are typically associated with subduction zones. The subducting slab contains many hydrous minerals, which release their water on heating; this water then causes the mantle to melt, producing volcanism. Examples of this are the Andes mountain range in South America and the Japanese island arc.
Mid-Atlantic Ridge and East African Rift--divergent plate boundaries.
Andes Mountains--oceanic to continental convergent plate boundary.
Himalaya Mountains--continental to continental convergent plate boundary.
Marianas Trench--oceanic to oceanic convergent plate boundary.
San Andreas Fault--transform plate boundary.
The plate boundary between the Eurasian plate and African plate.
The type of plate boundary that regional metamorphism is associated with convergent plate boundaries. A convergent boundary is also known as a destructive plate boundary due to subduction.

constructive plate boundary
each plate boundary has a different boundaries. if you want the movement for a specific plate boundary, write the name of the plate boundary. :]

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.
