each plate boundary has a different boundaries. if you want the movement for a specific plate boundary, write the name of the plate boundary. :]
A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
seafloor spreading occurs when oceans widen and continents separate.convergent plate movements occurs when two plates collide toward each other.divergent plate movement is the moving away of plates from each other.transform plate movement occurs when two plates are sliding horizontally with each other.:)

This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
The force that occurs at divergent boundaries is a convection force. This force allows material to rise to the base of the lithosphere beneath each divergent plate boundary.
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
California is a transform plate boundary. That means it is a convergent boundary that is strike-slipping past each plate to release pressure. Near San Francisco area, there is a portion of the Juan De Fuca plate which is subducting under the North American Plate. It has almost completed a total subduction
the direction divergent boundaries move from is away from each other.
That happens at a divergent plate boundary

Two plates can either converge, diverge, or transform. A convergent boundary is when two plates come together, a divergent boundary is when they move apart, and a transform boundary is when two plates slide against each other in opposite directions.
