"Divergent, Convergent, and Transform", are create zone of tension by moving the plates apart.
Explanation:
- Divergent plate boundaries: Exist where tectonic plates are under tension essential being pulled apart. this tension leads to the upwelling of magma, which forces its way through the separating crust onto the surface.
- Convergent boundaries: areas where plates move toward each other and collide. subduction zones occur when one or both of the tectonic plates are composed of oceanic crust.
- Transform boundaries: When two plates slide past each other, horizontally. at well known transform plate boundary is the San Andreas fault.
