explanation:

Answer 2

Convergent plate movement:

• Those in which two plates slide towards each other to form a subduction zone in which one plate moves underneath the other or causes a  continental collision.
• Also known as destructive plates.
• They result in the formation of explosive types of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis etc.
• For example: Oceanic Nazca plate subducts beneath the continental South American plate at the Peru-Chile Trench.

Diverging plate movement:

• Those in which two plates slide apart from each other
• Also known as constructive plates.
• They results in the formation of new oceanic crusts and creation of transform faults, etc.
• For example: The East African rift in eastern Africa and the Red Sea Rift.
