What is a Convergent Boundary?
In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary, is also known as a destructive plate boundary, is deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere, they move toward from one another and collide.

What are Divergent Boundaries?
A linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.A linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.

What is a Transform boundary?
Type of fault whose relative motion is predominantly horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction.
