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.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three main types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform. At convergent boundaries, plates move toward each other. At divergent boundaries, plates move apart. At transform boundaries, plates slide horizontally past each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -Convergent: compressional; plates move toward each other. Includes: Subduction zones and mountain building. Transform: shearing; plates slide past each other.
Detailed explanation-4: -Divergent Plate Boundary. Volcanic eruptions and shallow earthquakes are common where plates rip apart. Convergent Plate Boundary. Transform Plate Boundary. Hotspot. 11-Feb-2020
