Convergent: plates move into one another.Divergent: plates move apart.Transform: plates move sideways in relation to each other.
Where two or more plates meet or come together is called a plate boundary. These plate boundaries can be either convergent (moving towards each other), divergent (moving apart), or transform (sliding past each other).
Plate boundaries.
The indo-australasian or the African plates are moving north
It is because the boundary in many places is actually inland and appears to be part of the continental land mass. It is not, however, welded to the North American Plate, moving independently of it.
The boundary between two plates moving together is called a convergent boundary. At convergent boundaries, one plate is usually subducted beneath the other, leading to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and volcanic activity.
A boundary where the plates are moving apart is called a divergent boundary. It is also called a constructive boundary because new crust is made there.

The places between plates moving together are called convergent boundaries. These boundaries are characterized by plates colliding and often resulting in tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

A divergent plate boundary is one where the two plates on either side of the boundary are moving apart; 'di-' meaning away. Convergent plates are moving together.
