Places where tectonic plates come together?
Places where plates crash or crunch together are called convergent boundaries.
What kind of boundary is located at the mid ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
What kind of boundary occurs when tectonic plates move apart from one another?
Divergent boundary, i think cause if you look at it apart from another divergent means pull apart and convergent means to come together, but its the closest one.
What kind of tectonic plate is mt.erebus?

What kind of plate tectonic causes earthquakes?
Transform boundary
What is the place where two tectonic plates slide past each other other horizontally?
That is a Strike-slip fault. This type of plate boundary is a relatively conservative boundary because the plates moves side by side horizontally causing little or no destruction of old plates or creation of new plates, but only causes a kind of boundary known as a Transform Boundary. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas fault, in California, USA North America.
Are there any possibilities of having 3 or more tectonic plates meeting at a point to form a kind of multiple plates boundary?
The point where three different tectonic plates meet is known as a triple junction. One famous example is the Mendocino Triple Junction where the Pacific Plate, the North American Plate and the Gorda Plate meet.
