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)
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.
The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent, and transform. Divergent boundaries occur where plates move apart, creating new crust. Convergent boundaries occur where plates collide and can result in subduction zones or mountain formation. Transform boundaries occur where plates slide past each other horizontally.
An earthquake can occur at divergent, convergent, or transform plate boundaries. However, transform boundaries are most commonly associated with earthquakes due to the intense stress caused by the plates sliding past each other.
The three types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move away from each other; convergent boundaries, where plates move towards each other; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
The four types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates moving apart), convergent boundaries (plates moving together), transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other), and subduction zones (one plate sinking beneath another).

Convergent divergent transform,
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.
i know 3 divergent convergent and transform boundaries correct me it wrong
transform, convergent, and divergent boundaries
Underwater volcanoes and mountains can form at both convergent and divergent boundaries.
Divergent Boundaries, Convergent Boundaries and Transform Fault Boundaries. Divergent Boundaries move away from each other, Convergent Boundaries collide with each other and Transform Fault Boundaries grind past each other.
The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries (plates move apart), convergent boundaries (plates move toward each other), and transform boundaries (plates slide past each other horizontally). At divergent boundaries, new crust is formed as magma rises to the surface, while at convergent boundaries, crust is destroyed as one plate is subducted beneath another. Transform boundaries are characterized by earthquakes as the plates grind past each other.
