ANSWER

Converging tectonic plates Diverging tectonic plates

1. The plates that come towards each other and form divergent boundary are called converging tectonic plates 1. The plates that move away from each other and form divergent boundary are called diverging tectonic plates.

2. In the event of two plates coming together they may either collide and crumble, or one may slide under the other.

2. They do not collide and rumble. They also do not slide under the other.

Answer:

Definition---

Converging Tectonic Plates}A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone.

Diverging Tectonic Plates}In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary (also known as a constructive boundary or an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.

Explanation:

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

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
