Divergent Boundaries happen when two plates (oceanic or contental) begin to diverge, or move apart. Convergent Boundaries occur when two plates (again, oceanic or contential) begin to converge or move apart

What are the four 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).


How are convergert plates different from divergent plates?

Convergent plates move towards each other, causing alot of compressional forces. Divergent plates move away from each other causing alot of tensional forces.


What is the difference between convergent boundary and convergent plate boundary?

What are the three main plate boundries?

Divergent, convergent, and transform. transform boundary is when plates slide against each other. Convergent is when plates collide and push against each other, and divergent is when plates pull apart.


Can a convergent boundary turn into a divergent boundary?

No, convergent boundaries occur where plates move toward each other and collide or subduct, while divergent boundaries occur where plates move away from each other. It is not possible for a convergent boundary to turn into a divergent boundary because the underlying plate tectonics processes are fundamentally different.
