Answers
Answer:
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.
