Detailed explanation-1: -If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Active plate margins are the boundaries between two plates of the Earth’s crust that are colliding, pulling apart, or sliding past each other as they move over the mantle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Notice that a “gaps” forms at a divergent boundary as the plates continue to separate. When tectonic plates move apart from one another, magma fills the gaps and creates new crust. Since the surface area of the Earth is unchanging, there must also be a way to get rid of crust.
