Answer:
Two or more plates which push against each are known as 'Converging Plates' and when they are moving away from each other, they are called 'Diverging Plates'. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along these plate boundaries.

Answer:
- The Earth’s crust is broken up into several lithospheric or tectonic plates.
- These plates are constantly moving atop the Earth’s mantle (semi-solid layer of molten rocks).
- Based upon their motion, tectonic plates are referred to as converging or diverging.
- Converging tectonic plates move towards each other and form convergent boundary.
- Diverging tectonic plates move away from each other and form divergent boundary.
