What are the 3 types of plate boundarys?
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.
Is the north American plate divergent transform or convergent?
A plate is not classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, a plate boundary i.e. a boundary between plates is. All three types of plate boundary can be found along the edges of the North American plate.

Sea floor is destroyed in which plate boundry?
At a convergent boundary. if seafloor is created at a divergent boundary then it must be the opposite (at a convergent boundary) where is being destroyed.
What type of plate boundary causes shear stresses?
Shearing stress is one of three kinds of stresses. Compressional and tensional are the others. Shearing stress is associated with transform. The other two kinds of plate boundaries are convergent and divergent.
