The following are the difference between converging and diverging tectonic plates:

1. In converging plate boundaries, two plates move towards each other. On the other hand, diverging plate two plates move in opposite directions.

2. Converging plate boundaries are called destructive plate and diverging plates are called constructive plate.

3. Converging plate boundaries resultant in the occurrence of the explosive type of volcanic eruption, earthquake etc on the other hand diverging plate boundaries results in the creation of new oceanic crusts, and the creation of transform faults etc.

Hope its help you....

Explanation:

converging plates is when two tectonic plates clash into each other and there are 3 types

  1. when oceanic plate clashes with continental plate and the oceanic plates sinks into the upper mantle
  2. when the new continental plate clashes into each other and forms a fold mountain
  3. when the old oceanic plates clashes into the new one and the old one sinks

diverging plates are when two oceanic plates gets separated and the upper mantle fills up the gap
