Earth's crust is broken up into segments called tectonic plates, which move very slowly. A plate boundary is where two of these plates meet. There are three basic types: convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.

It seems like there may have been a typo in your question. Did you mean plate boundaries? If so, plate boundaries are the lines where tectonic plates meet. There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other.

Can one plate have several types of plate boundaries?

All of the tectonic plates have different types of plate boundaries, most having all three types of plate boundaries. Convergent, where the plate is subducting under another plate, divergent, where the plate is pulling away from another plate, and transform boundaries where the plates are sliding past each other.


Which plate boundaries volcanoes are found along?

Volcanoes typically occur at two different types of plate boundaries. These two plate boundaries are: the diverging plate boundary where plates separate, and the converging plate boundaries where one plate is beneath another one at subduction zones.
