Where can convergent boundaries be found?
100
They can cause earthquakes, tsunamis, mountains, but they can cause fertile soil, and fossil fuels.

Iceland
Where can divergent boundaries be found?
200
Plate tectonics are the plates under the earth that make up the earths surface, they move because of intense heat.
