What is the plate tectonic boundary type when the plate moves toward each other?

It is called a convergent boundary and can often result in a chain of mountains. When two plates converge, it is common for the denser plate to sink underneath the other. This process is called subduction.

When continental plates moves toward each other what kind of plate boundary is that called?
the boundary is called a convergent boundary
What do tectonic plates form when they converge?
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
What is the plate tectonic boundary type when plates move alongside each other?
Transform Boundary
What is the boundary when two tectonic plates separate from each other?
Divergent Boundary. That is when the plates seperate. Convergent Boundary is when they collide. Transform Boundary is when they slide past each other.
The difference between a transform and convergent boundary?
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.

What does a Divergent Boundary do?
these create rift valleys
What isn't a tectonic plate boundary?
Any area where two or more tectonic plates do not touch each other is a not a tectonic plate boundary.
What do tectonic plates form when they converge?
Convergent tectonic plates are plates that are moving toward each other.
What is formed when crustal plates move toward each other?
when tectonic plates move toward each othe forms
What is a boundary between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary

What name is given to the boundary where two tectonic plates pull away from each other?
This is known as a divergent boundary.

What do we call the boundary where the plates move toward each other?
Convergence Boundary.
What happens when tectonic plates slide past each other?
What occurs when the plates slide each other is a boundary forming. this boundary is called a transform boundary.
