Boundaries, or faults, are locations on the edges of plates, crustal masses that are very slowly moving atop the convective outer mantle (asthenosphere).
At convergent boundaries, two crustal masses (plates) are pushing into each other. This can result in subduction, so may be a destructive boundary.
At divergent boundaries, two masses of rock are pulling away from each other. This can be a constructive boundary when it produces rifting and seafloor spreading.
At transform boundaries, or transform faults, rock masses move past one another. These are known as conservativeboundaries because crust is neither destroyed or created.
(these can cause earthquakes when accumulated strain is released)

Converging- Plates move together forming mountains
Diverging-Plates move away from each other creating Volcanoes
Transforming-PLates slide past each other creating trenches and earth quakes

What are the 3 transform boundaries in the world?
Convergent Divergent Transform
What types of plate boundaries are There?
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
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.
What is a crustal boundary?
There are 3 types convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries. Convergent collide, divergent move away, and transform boundaries occur when two boundaries pass each other horizontally. The process of subduction is associated with convergent boundaries and tectonic plates play a huge role in these types of boundaries.
Where are the most plate bounderies?
Fault lines.
What are the four plate boundaries?
The names of the three different plate boundaries are: Convergent, Divergent, and Transform.
Name 3 plate boundaries?
divergent, transform and convergent
What are the 3 transform boundaries in the world?
Convergent Divergent Transform
