Detailed explanation-1: -Divergent boundaries–where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries–where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. Transform boundaries–where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other. More items •15-Sept-2014
Detailed explanation-2: -Most seismic activity occurs at three types of plate boundaries-divergent, convergent, and transform. As the plates move past each other, they sometimes get caught and pressure builds up.
Detailed explanation-3: -False, because the correct statement is: There are three types of divergent plate boundaries, namely continental-continental, oceanic-continental, and oceanic-oceanic.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are major, minor and micro tectonic plates. There are seven major plates: African, Antarctic, Eurasian, Indo-Australian, North American, Pacific and South American.
Detailed explanation-5: -Divergent Boundaries: New crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. Convergent Boundaries: The crust is destroyed as one plate dived under another. Transform Boundaries: The crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.
