Answer:

The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways in relation to each other. They move at a rate of one to two inches (three to five centimeters) per year.

Answer:

There are three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries

Convergent plate boundaries: A tectonic boundary where two plates are moving toward each other. If the two plates are of equal density, they usually push up against each other, forming a mountain chain. If they are of unequal density, one plate usually sinks beneath the other in a subduction zone.

Divergent plate boundaries: Divergent boundaries occur along spreading centers where plates are moving apart and new crust is created by magma pushing up from the mantle.

Transform plate boundaries: wo plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary. Natural or human-made structures that cross a transform boundary are split into pieces and carried in opposite directions.
