Convergent Boundary
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
Fault lines
Plates rubbing past each other is known as a transform boundary.
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
The place where two tectonic plates move away from each other horizontally are called divergent plate boundaries.
The ring of fire is the result of activity around the edges of the Pacific Plate, which moves faster than other other tectonic plates. As it pushes against other plates tension builds up and is released as earthquakes.
I believe that you are thinking of tectonic plates.

Tectonic plates- it relates to Alfred Wagener's theory of continental drift
I'm guessing you're talking about the tectonic plates? Divergence.
Continental plates are a type of tectonic plate that consist mostly of continental crust, which is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust. Tectonic plates refer to the larger pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, including both continental and oceanic plates.
Anywhere there are tectonic plates, and when two tectonic plates hit each other
