Detailed explanation-1: -Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide. These are also known as compressional or destructive boundaries. Subduction zones occur where an oceanic plate meets a continental plate and is pushed underneath it. Subduction zones are marked by oceanic trenches.
Detailed explanation-2: -The World Atlas names seven major plates: African, Antarctic, Eurasian, Indo-Australian, North American, Pacific and South American.
Detailed explanation-3: -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
