1. Spreading,or moving apart
2. Subduction,or diving under another plate
3. Collision,or Crashing into one another
4. Sliding past each other in a Shearing Motion

- converging
- transforming

∙ 13y agowell I only know three but they are divergent boundaries, transform boundaries, and convergent boundaries.

3.- collison/ crushing into one another
4.- slinding past each other in a shearing motion.
