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)
What else can I help you with?
How are convergent boundaries different from divergent boundries?
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.
How are convergent boundarys different from divergent boundarys?
convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.
What types of boundaries are there?
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Do divergent boundaries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
What are the four plate boundaries?
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).
Is volcanism found at convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates?
Yes, volcanism is found at both convergent and divergent boundaries of tectonic plates. At convergent boundaries, subduction zones can result in the formation of volcanoes due to the melting of subducted crust. At divergent boundaries, magma rises to the surface to create new crust, leading to volcanic activity as seen in mid-ocean ridges.
What are the different plate boundaries?
Convergent, divergent, and transformal
What are produced at convergent and divergent boundaries?
Volcanoes and earthquakes

What type of movement occurs at plate boundaries?
Convergent,Divergent, and Transform Boundaries
Is forming underwater mountains and volcanoes convergent divergent or transform?
