Divergent Boundary. That is when the plates seperate. Convergent Boundary is when they collide. Transform Boundary is when they slide past each other.
Transform Boundary
Fault lines
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
Convergent Boundary is a result of two tectonic plates colliding. Divergent boundary is the process where to tectonic plates move away from each other. if two tectonic plates move away from each other (diverge), each will collide with another plate (converge) on the opposite side of the divergent boundary, forming a convergent boundary with another tectonic plate.
Plates rubbing past each other is known as a transform boundary.
Any area where two or more tectonic plates do not touch each other is a not a tectonic plate boundary.
Transform Boundary
divergent boundary
What occurs when the plates slide each other is a boundary forming. this boundary is called a transform boundary.

This is known as a divergent boundary.
At transform boundaries, the plates move horizontal in relation to each other.
Plates rubbing past each other is known as a transform boundary.
The Earth's crust is broken up into several lithospheric or tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving atop the Earth's mantle (semi-solid layer of molten rocks). Based upon their motion, tectonic plates are referred to as converging or diverging. Converging tectonic plates move towards each other and form convergent boundary. Diverging tectonic plates move away from each other and form divergent boundary.
